Current limiting arrangement and method

摘要

A current limiting arrangement comprises at least two electrodes and at least two electrically conductive composite materials. The current limiting arrangement has predetermined operational bounds. The at least two composite materials each comprising a low pyrolysis temperature binder and an electrically conductive filler. The at least two conductive composite materials are in parallel with one another. Each conductive composite material has electrical and physical characteristics that define operational bounds, and at least two conductive composite materials having at least one different characteristic. A total of the electrical and physical characteristics of the at least two conductive composite materials being substantially similar to the operational bounds of the current limiting arrangement.
