A switch is disclosed, in particular a circuit breaker for low voltages. In at least one embodiment, the switch includes a conductor, an electronic tripping unit (ETU) which trips the switch when a current limit value is exceeded, the power supply of the electronic tripping unit including current transformers, with a first winding which is connected to the electronic tripping unit (ETU) forming the secondary side of the current transformer and the conductor forming the first primary side of the current transformer, the conductor supplying electrical power to the current transformer when the current varies over time. In order to ensure power is supplied to the tripping unit (ETU) even in modes of operation in which too little power is provided by the first winding, for example in the case of a direct current, small alternating currents, a pulsed direct current etc., a second winding which forms the second primary side of the current transformer is arranged on the current transformer in addition to the first winding, and a converter (DAW) taps off a voltage from at least two conductors when there is too little power, and supplies electrical power to the second winding and therefore also to the electronic tripping unit via the secondary winding.

To detect an entrapment situation when a driven component is adjusted using a mechanical adjustment system which has an electric motor ( 2 ), a value (Fakt) relating to the force acting upon the driven component is compared with a threshold value (FTh) relating to a reference value (FRef). The reference value (FRef), and thus the threshold value (FTh), are continuously matched, for the purpose of force tracking, with the force value which changes during the movement of adjustment depending on the mechanical system.

A circuit protection device suitable for use with a photovoltaic power generation system. The circuit protection device includes an electronic control unit and a dual path fuse. The dual path fuse has a first current path defined by a main conductor and a second current path defined by a fuse element. In response to an overcurrent condition, the control unit activates the dual path fuse to open the first current path, thereby shunting current to the second current path. Residual follow-on current flows through the fuse element via the second current path until the fuse element melts. The control unit is programmable with multiple threshold current levels and associated time delays in order to provide different activation response times that are dependent upon the detected current level.

Provided are an overcurrent protection device and an overcurrent protection system which can provide time differences among the timings for executing the retry operations among a plurality of overcurrent protection devices connected to a common power supply. When a battery voltage (VBA) becomes a value equal to or lower than a threshold voltage after an FET (Q 1 ) of an IC circuit ( 51 - 1 ) is turned on, all FETs (Q 1 ) of the respective IC circuits are turned off, and a time until the battery voltage (VBA) reduces to a value lower than a threshold voltage after the turning-on of the FET (Q 1 ) is clocked. When the time is smaller than 400 μsec, the count value N is incremented. Further, turning-on of the FETs (Q 1 ) is repeated after the lapse of the standby time (Tp) set randomly. When the count value N reaches 7, the FET (Q 1 ) of the IC circuit 51 - 1 is held in the turned-off state. Accordingly, only the load-driving circuit at which the dead short occurs can be stopped and the driving of the other load-driving circuits can be continued.
