Elektrische Sicherung

摘要

The invention relates to a fuse having an input connection (1), an output connection (2) and two parallel current paths which connect both connections to one another. The current paths are namely a main current path (3) and a partial current path. The electric fuse comprises a single fuse element (5) arranged in the main current path (3). In addition, a switch (6) which is arranged in the partial current path is provided. The switch (6) is configured in such a way that it opens when given limiting values are exceeded, said limiting values pertaining to the current flowing through the fuse and/or to the temperature of the fuse element.
