    摘要: A short-circuit determination circuit includes a current detection unit, a voltage detection unit, and a short-circuit determination unit. The current detection unit detects the current flowing in a power circuit. The voltage detection unit detects the voltage applied to the power circuit. The short-circuit determination unit determines a short circuit in the power circuit on the basis of the difference between a detection value of the current detected by the current detection unit and a detection value of the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit.

    摘要: The disclosure is directed to a detection device for detecting a fault current (Ifault) at a PV generator and/or at DC lines of a PV installation assigned to the PV generator. The PV generator has at least one first PV string and a second PV string, which are connected to a PV inverter of the PV installation via in each case two DC lines. In this case, the detection device has at least one current transformer and an evaluation circuit connected to the at least one current transformer. The current transformer can be used jointly by the first PV string and the second PV string, wherein a measurement signal of the jointly usable current transformer represents a difference between a first summation current (Isum,1) flowing from the first PV string towards the ground potential (PE) and a second summation current (Isum,2) flowing from the second PV string towards the ground potential (PE). The fault current (Ifault), when it arises, is a part of the first summation current (Isum,1) and/or the second summation current (Isum,2). The disclosure also includes a PV inverter having a corresponding detection device and also a method for detecting a fault current (Ifault).

    摘要: Various implementations described herein are related to a device with fabrication test circuitry having transistors arranged in a parallel branch configuration between a supply voltage and a single pad. In some applications, each transistor in an off-current branch may be separately deactivated so as to test leakage current applied to the pad by way of the off-current branch, and also, each transistor in an on-current branch may be deactivated so as to further test the leakage current applied to the pad by way of the off-current branch.

    摘要: An arc detection assembly is provided and includes a first conductor comprising a first terminal end, a second conductor comprising a second terminal end, an enclosure to partially enclose a space in which the first and second terminal ends are engageable to form an electrical connection and an optical detection system. The optical detection system includes an optical element within the enclosure with a line-of-sight to an engagement of the first and second terminal ends and a sensor. The sensor is displaced from the enclosure and coupled to the optical element. The sensor is configured to determine when the optical element senses an arcing condition between the first and second terminal ends.
