SELF-POWERED WIRELESS FUSE SWITCH

摘要

A self-powered wireless fuse switch is disclosed that is a plug-in replacement for a fuse found in the electrical system of vehicles. The self-powered wireless fuse adds remote-controlled switching capabilities for short and long-range control of power to subsystems of a vehicle electrical system. The wireless fuse switch includes an internal transceiver that receives commands from a remote control unit and controls the position of an internal relay. The wireless control module interfaces with a fuse socket of the vehicle to selectively allow or interrupt power from the vehicle to the subsystem of the vehicle electrical system. The wireless fuse switch includes either a two-blade or three-blade harness assembly that allows the wireless fuse switch to be received within the fuse socket of the vehicle.

主权项

1. A system for remotely controlling the operation of at least one electrical subsystem that receives power from a battery through a fuse mounted within a fuse socket of a vehicle electrical system, the system comprising:
a control device having a transceiver for transmitting control commands; a wireless control module including a control module transceiver that communicates with the transceiver of the control device to receive the control commands; a relay contained within the wireless control module and movable between an open position and a closed position based upon the received control commands; and a harness assembly configured to connect the relay to the fuse socket of the vehicle electrical system.
