  • Drive unit
    Publication number: 20030091344
    Abstract: A drive unit, in particular for a fan in motor vehicles, is indicated, comprising an electric motor (12) operated on a DC line (UBat), and comprising a device (13) for controlling the speed of the motor (12) by changing the operating voltage applied at the motor (12). In order to cost-effectively realize a stepwise adjustment of the motor speed, the speed control device (13) comprises a plurality of resistors (R1-R3) and a plurality of semiconductor switches (T1-T3) for selectively connecting the motor (12) in series with at least one of the resistors (R1-R3) (FIG. 1).

  • Multi-pole connector having microtemperature fuse and resistor
    Patent number: 5902153
    Abstract: A novel plug connector is intended to improve the capability of triggering a consumer. The plug connector has a plug which has three contact blades, of which a first contact blade is connected to a first cable connection by means of a first electrical lead element, a second contact blade is connected to a second cable connection by means of a second electrical lead element, and a third contact blade is connected to the second electrical lead element by means of a third electrical lead element and via electric components; one connection cable, leading to the consumer, is soldered to each of the two cable connections. The multi-pole plug connector is especially suitable for electrically connecting an electric controller to an electric motor.
