  • Patent number: 9691581
    Abstract: A fuse arrangement includes a first safety fuse and a second safety fuse connected electrically in parallel with each other. The fuse arrangement also includes an end plate mechanically coupled to the first and second safety fuses to form a structural unit so that both safety fuses must be inserted/removed to/from an electrical power distribution installation at the same time. Furthermore, the electrical parallel connection of the two safety fuses, rather than a single relatively larger safety fuse, may allow the maximum current strength of an electrical power distribution installation to be maintained while the current is split between the two safety fuses so the size of the fuse arrangement may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20160307231
    Abstract: A method for data communication between a data processing unit (12) and an end device (20) to be used by a user is provided, which method comprises an analyzing step according to which a content to be displayed on a display (22) of the end device (20) is analyzed and wherein the content to be displayed is chosen by the user, previously. Further, a data set (16), in particular a video data set, stored in a storage (14) of said data processing unit (12) is chosen according to the result of the analyzing step. The data set (16) is transferred to the end device (20) which data content is displayed on the display (22) of the end device (20). Further, a system (10) and a method for calculating charges is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130335188
    Abstract: A safety fuse arrangement may include at least a first safety fuse element and a second safety fuse element electrically connected to each other in parallel. The safety fuse arrangement further comprises a ceramic fuse body having at least a first locating space for locating and holding the first safety fuse element and a second locating space for locating and holding the second safety fuse element. The locating spaces are physically separated from each other by the fuse body. In this way, a compact safety fuse arrangement comprising a plurality of safety fuse elements which are electrically connected to each other in parallel can be realized as a structural unit that is inexpensive to manufacture and is suitable for higher rated currents.

  • Publication number: 20120242448
    Abstract: A fusible cut-out link, e.g., for semiconductor fuses, may have a ceramic body filled with compacted sand, wherein a supplementary body is introduced into the compacted sand. Said supplementary body may be embodied in such a way that an increase in internal pressure in the ceramic body due to thermal expansion of the compacted sand causes the supplemental body to release an additional volume into which the compacted sand is allowed to expand. In this manner, it may be possible to avoid or limit damage to the ceramic body due to stress fractures caused by the different rates of thermal expansion of the compacted sand and of the ceramic body as a result of an increase in temperature and the increase in internal pressure in the ceramic body associated therewith. The robustness of the fusible cut-out link may be significantly improved as a result.

  • Publication number: 20120242449
    Abstract: The fusible cut-out link, e.g., for semiconductor fuses, may have a ceramic body filled with compacted sand. The ceramic body may have a volume reservoir embodied such that an increase in internal pressure in the ceramic body due to thermal expansion of the compacted sand causes the volume reservoir to release an additional volume in the ceramic body, thereby allowing the compacted sand to expand. In this manner, it may be possible to avoid or limit damage to the ceramic body due to stress fractures caused by the different rates of thermal expansion of the compacted sand and of the ceramic body as a result of an increase in temperature and the increase in internal pressure in the ceramic body associated therewith. The robustness of the fusible cut-out link may be significantly improved as a result.
