POWER SAFETY SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING A PLURALITY OF THERMALLY-TRIGGERED ELECTRICAL BREAKING ARRANGEMENTS

摘要

PURPOSE: A power safety system having a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements and a method thereof are provided to electrically break connection between a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements and a plurality of electrical devices disposed externally to the power safety system in a thermal event. CONSTITUTION: A power safety system(PSS)(10) comprises a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements(TTEBAs) and a plurality of electrical power connections(EPCs)(52) associated with the TTEBAs. The PSS is configured to electrically charge a battery(12) disposed in a vehicle(14). A handle(18) is coupled to a vehicle inlet connector(22). The handle contains one or more wire conductors(24) that provide uni-directional or bi-directional flow of electrical signals between the handle and the vehicle.
