  • Patent number: 11600990
    Abstract: A protection system for overcurrent protection in a battery system. The protection system can have a protection element for interrupting an electric current path in the battery system. The protection system can have an acquisition unit for determining acquisition information which is specific for an electric current of the current path. The protection system can have an electronic processing unit for performing a comparison of the acquisition information with an adaptable protection specification to detect an overcurrent condition. The electronic processing unit can be operatively connected to the protection element to activate the protection element in response to the comparison such that the interruption occurs upon positive detection of the overcurrent condition in accordance with an adjustable activating characteristic.
