Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9507548A1] The invention pertains to a current limiting device with at least one semiconductor region (1) with electron donor (source;2), electron acceptor (drain;3) and electron flow controlling electrode (gate;4) without its own drive. The semiconductor region has a characteristic curve like that old field effect transistors. As needed, a current breaker (5) can be connected in series to the drain-source path. The gate electrodes (4, 4a, 4b) are dimensioned with respect to their thickness (L), their spacing (d) and the source-drain distance (D) so that a limitation is activated at a predetermined intensity of current.
