Abstract: Some appliances, normally supplied by a mains supply, also comprise an emergency supply by batteries able to take over from the mains supply. The batteries used by the emergency supply are generally protected by a fuse. These appliances are liable to consume greater than what could be supplied by the batteries of the emergency supply. When there is a break in the mains electrical supply, it is then preferable to limit the current consumed by the appliance in order not to damage the fuse protecting said batteries. However, the fuses are hardware modules having a reaction time of a few hundreds of milliseconds. If it is wished not to damage the fuse, it is therefore essential to reduce the current consumption of the appliance within a time less than the reaction time of the fuse. The invention relates to a system and method for instantaneously reducing the electrical consumption of an appliance in the event of a break in the mains supply.
