Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0643401A2] Load-dependent electrical safety fuse having an electronic ceramic (12) in a housing (11) from which connecting lines (14) are passed, for determining at least a first type of load of a device to be monitored, use being made of a ceramic, in brief a TDR ceramic (12), the electrically insulating state of which enters a semiconducting state as a function of time as a first type of load and of a second type of load. As a consequence, when the TDR ceramic (12) is supplied with DC voltage U via connecting lines (14), a current increase forms the trigger criterion which is met in the event of predeterminable conditions and determines a desired operating time tau . <IMAGE>
