A flexible circuit breaker includes at least two semiconductor switches, at least one input and at least two outputs. Each of the at least two semiconductor switches can carry a defined current, and each of the at least two semiconductor switches is monitored individually in relation to the current flowing therethrough, the first output is assigned to a first semiconductor switch, where by a selection using a selection device on the flexible circuit breaker, one can select whether the current flowing through a second semiconductor switch is assigned to the second output or the first output.

Flexible circuit breaker

The invention relates to a device circuit breaker having intelligent limit value determination. In a training phase, the device circuit breaker is adjusted to a specific device and its load behavior. In a subsequent monitoring phase&#x2014;based on the values determined in the training phase&#x2014;present values or values derived from those are compared and, if necessary, the current flow is interrupted.

Device circuit breaker having intelligent limit value determination and method therefor

The object of the invention is a distribution system with an electronic fuse terminal and at least one first series terminal, wherein the electronic fuse terminal and the at least one first series terminal are arranged immediately adjacent to one another on a mounting rail, and wherein the electronic fuse terminal and the at least one first series terminal each have at least one adjacent bridging member, wherein the electronic fuse terminal can be supplied with input voltage, with the electronic fuse terminal making at least one protected first output potential available, and wherein the protected first output potential is forwarded to the first series terminal by means of a first bridging plug to the first series terminal.

The object of the invention is a device for detecting an overcurrent, having a current meter, a first counter, and a switch, wherein the current meter measures a current through the device, with the switch being capable of interrupting a current flow through the device, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a first current threshold, the first counter is changed by a first increment in a first direction, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a second current threshold, the first counter is changed by a second increment in the first direction, with the second current threshold being quantitatively greater than the first current threshold, and with the second increment being quantitatively greater than the first increment, wherein, after a change in the counter, the first counter is compared with a first counter threshold, and if the counter threshold has been reached or exceeded, the switch is actuated continuously such that the current flow is interrupted, and otherwise the switch is actuated for a predetermined time such that the current flow is interrupted.
