Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000516798
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An overcurrent protection system giving rapid response to relatively small overcurrents has a sensor element and an interruption element in series between a power source and a load. The sensor element is functionally linked to the circuit interruption element via a control element. When current exceeds a predetermined amount, the sensor element transfers heat to the control element which causes the circuit interruption element to change from a conducting state to a non-conducting fault state. The control element may include a PTC device.
