Abstract:
A current breaking system comprising:a current breaking device interposed between a battery for a vehicle and an electric load of a vehicle for cutting off a power supply from the battery to the electric load when a circuit cut-off signal is inputted to the current breaking device, said current breaking device comprising:a conductive soluble member arranged between the battery and the electric load, said conductive soluble member having one end electrically connected to the battery and the other end electrically connected to the electric load; anda thermit part attached to said conductive soluble member and having a casing for accommodating a thermit mixture and a heater therein, said thermit part generating heat to melt said conductive soluble member when the circuit cut-off signal is inputted to said thermit part, thereby cutting off the electrical connection between the battery and the electric load,wherein said conductive soluble member is bent like an elbow and is provided with a plurality of projections between which said casing of said thermit part is supported.
