More Information
Summary:A thermal overload protection apparatus for protection of an electrical component is disclosed. In one exemplary implementation, such apparatus may comprise a switching element for short-circuiting or disconnecting electrical connections, an actuator apparatus for switching the switching element to a short-circuit or disconnect position, and a tripping element which trips the actuator apparatus on a thermally sensitive basis. In some implementations, the actuator apparatus may be configured to be switched over for activation from an inactive state, in which the switching element cannot be switched by the actuator apparatus, into a trippable state, in which the switching element is capable of being switched by the actuator apparatus. Innovations herein also relate to corresponding arrangements having a conductor track mount, at least one component arranged thereon, and at least one associated overload protection apparatus.
