Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1278402A1] The device has a regulator, demand value generator, temperature sensor, a subtracter with a demand current input that drives the regulator, a switch-off device that varies the current demand so the diode current is negligible if a switch-off signal is applied and a controller with a temperature connection, an temperature-dependent output to the subtracter and a temperature-dependent second output to the switch-off input of the switch-off device. The device has a regulator (1), demand value generator (5) and temperature measurement device (4), a subtracter (6) with the demand current value as input that drives the regulator, a switch-off device (7) that varies the current demand value so the diode current is negligible when a switch-off signal is applied and a controller (8) with connections for a temperature measurement parameter, a first output to the subtracter dependent on the temperature measurement value and a temperature-dependent second output to the switch-off input of the switch-off device.
