Electrical equipment has housing, two conducting sections and connection component arranged within housing, where one end of conducting sections stands out as connection element from housing

Abstract: The electrical equipment (1) has a housing (2), two conducting sections (3a,3b) and a connection component (5) arranged within the housing, where one end (6a,6b) of the conducting sections stands out as connection element from the housing. An intumescent material is arranged within the housing in such a manner that the connection component is movable by the intumescent material from one position to another position. An independent claim is also included for an intumescent material.

Apparatus for monitoring operating parameters of integrated circuits and integrated circuit with operating parameter monitoring

Abstract: The invention generally relates to an apparatus for monitoring operating parameters of integrated circuits. A signal (S4) is generated at least at one output of a comparative element (11) by comparing switching states of input signals (S2, S3) at the at least two inputs of the comparative element (11), which signal indicates that the at least one operating parameter has dropped below or risen above a predefined threshold. The two input signals are generated by at least two operating parameter-dependent apparatuses (12, 13), and the switching behaviour thereof is subject to a time delay depending on the current value of the at least one operating parameter. A predefined time delay is created between the input signals (S2, S3) of the comparative element (11). Said delay has a value such that, when the predefined threshold of the operating parameter is exceeded, one of the input signals (S2, S3) changes its switching state at the times predefined for the comparative element (11) by the clock signal (S1.1) on the basis of the predefined time delay, and the comparative element (11) thus indicates this disparity and thus signals that the threshold of the at least one operating parameter has been exceeded.

Electrical terminal e.g. safety module, for fuse box, has contact points designed as spring force clamping connection, and clamping spring with two side pieces attached to points for clamping electrical conductors together

Abstract: The terminal has clamp housing with a lower side having a retainer (2.1) for a mounting rail, an upper side and a connection side. Openings (5, 7) are assigned to contact points (9, 11), which are designed as a spring force clamping connection. A clamping spring (17) is attached to the points for clamping electrical conductors (13) together. The spring has a side piece (19) with arc-shape to clamp a conductor inserted into the point (9). Another side piece (21) is formed such that one end of the piece (21) is pressed against the conductor inserted into the point (11).

DOLLAR A Die zuvor beschriebene Kabelanschluseinrichtung ist erfindungsgemas verbessert, ausgestaltet und weiterentwickelt, und zwar einerseits dadurch, das das Adernaufnahme- und -fuhrungsteil (5) in der Uberwurfmutter (4) axial gefuhrt ist, andererseits dadurch, das die in dem Adernaufnahme- und -fuhrungsteil (5) vorgesehenen Aderfuhrungskanale (18) koaxial zueinander verlaufen sowie einerseits stirnseitig ...

Signalization device for use in over-voltage protection device for signalization of flash current in e.g. off-shore wind energy system, has monitoring device provided for detecting interruption of conductors, which exhibit same large length

Abstract: The device (1) has conductors (2, 3) arranged in a parallel and electrical conducting manner. The conductors exhibit different, large ohmic resistors and inductors. A monitoring device detects interruption of the conductors. The conductors exhibit same large length and different large cross sections. The conductors are designed as conductor paths of conductor boards. The monitoring device is attached to the conductors. The conductors are impacted with spring forces, and the monitoring device comprises a unit i.e. lamp, for remote signalization of interruption of the conductors. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for signalization of the peak current (2) an over-voltage protection device comprising an over-voltage protection element.
