The present invention relates to a heating device for an aircraft interior. The heating device has a mechanically loadable support structure, a mechanically loadable and thermally conductive outer structure, and a heater for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, wherein the heater is arranged between the support structure and the outer structure and has a heating layer composed of a resistance material with a positive temperature coefficient.

A fault current sensor for a fault current protection device for monitoring an electrical consumer for a vehicle is provided. The fault current sensor has a measuring device for measuring a differential current between a first electrical current in an electrical forward conductor, which conducts from a control device for controlling the electrical consumer to the electrical consumer, and a second electrical current in an electrical return conductor, which conducts away from the electrical consumer. The fault current sensor also has a reporting device for reporting a fault current at the control device via the forward conductor depending on a comparison of the measured differential current with a threshold value.

A residual current sensor for a residual current protective device for monitoring an electrical load for a vehicle is presented. The residual current sensor has an electrical circuit for identifying a test signal in an electrical forward conductor, which forward-conducts from a control apparatus for controlling the electrical load to the electrical load the test signal represents a request to perform a self-test of the residual current sensor. The residual current sensor also has a residual-current-generating apparatus for generating a test residual current in an electrical reverse conductor, which conducts away from the electrical load, in response to the identified test signal. The residual current sensor furthermore has a measuring apparatus for measuring a differential current between a first electric current in the electrical forward conductor and a second electric current in the electrical reverse conductor.

The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for harmonic-wave suppression in AC voltage-operated PTC heaters, especially in frequency-stable and frequency-variable alternating-voltage networks in aerospace applications. The problem of harmonic-wave suppression for AC voltage-operated PTC heaters, in which the harmonic waves are suppressed by superimposing a correction current, which permits a simple and economical generation of the harmonic-wave suppression signal, is solved according to the invention by generating a correction current in a correction current circuit arranged parallel to the PTC heater using an ohmic resistor (). The correction current is generated and additively superimposed exclusively for suppressing the third harmonic of the heating current of the PTC heater.
