Power safety system and method having a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements

A power safety system (PSS) includes a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements (TTEBAs (11) ). The plurality of TTEBAs are associated with a plurality of electrical devices (EDs (12,13) ) disposed external to the PSS. The PSS further includes a plurality of electrical power...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A power safety system (PSS) includes a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements (TTEBAs (11) ). The plurality of TTEBAs are associated with a plurality of electrical devices (EDs (12,13) ) disposed external to the PSS. The PSS further includes a plurality of electrical power connections (EPCs (19) ) associated with said plurality of TTEBAs (11) that are configured to respectively electrically connect the PSS to the plurality of EDs (12,13). When at least one TTEBA in the plurality of TTEBAs is electrically operative and at least one thermal event occurs that is sufficient to thermally activate the at least one electrically operative TTEBA, at least the EPC (19) associated with the at least one thermally activated TTEBA is electrically broken. A method to protect a human operator of the PSS from a thermal event is also presented. A PSS also extends to a primary and a secondary electrical charging system (10) used to charge a battery of a vehicle (14).
