OVERCHARGE SAFETY DEVICE FOR PROTECTING ELECTROTECHNICAL COMPONENTS FROM TOO HIGH OPERATING CURRENTS

摘要

The invention relates to an overload safety device (1) for protecting electrical and/or electronic components from operating currents (lb) which are above a threshold operating current. In order to ensure that the overload safety device (1) prevents operating currents (lb) which are above the threshold operating current in a safe, rapid manner which is substantially independent of external factors, there is provision according to the invention for a switching device (6) of the overload safety device (1) to be able to be actuated by operating currents (lb) which are above the threshold operating current and to be constructed so as to be able to be moved from an operating state (B) into a protection state (S) and for the overload safety device (1) to be constructed with a retention device (11) which has at least one retention magnet (12, 13) which secures the operating state (B).
