A thermal runaway refers to the overheating of a technical apparatus due to a self-reinforcing process that generates heat. This damage usually causes the destruction of the apparatus and often leads to a fire or explosion.
Every motorist wants maximum comfort and maximum safety. More and more electronics are being packed into the vehicle for this purpose. This leads to a constantly increasing power density with not insignificant thermal hazard potential. SCHURTER counters this danger with thermal fuses.
Overcurrents aren't the only threat to modern electronics. Excessively high temperatures are increasingly becoming the number one enemy due to high power density.
