Patent ID: 8270134

Claim:
An electrical circuit comprising a power supply, a load, a first pair of parallel positive cables between the power supply and the load, a first pair of parallel negative cables between the load and the power supply, and incendive arc prevention means, in which the incendive arc prevention means comprises monitoring means adapted to monitor the first pair of positive cables and the first pair of negative cables, and to detect if the current and/or voltage in one of the first pair of positive cables deviates from the other of the first pair of positive cables, and if the current and/or voltage in one of the first pair of negative cables deviates from the other of the first pair of negative cables, and in which the incendive arc prevention means comprises a control means adapted to fully or partially isolate the power supply from the first pair of positive cables and the first pair of negative cables if the monitoring means detects that the current and/or voltage of one of the first pair of positive cables has deviated from the other of the first pair of positive cables, or if the current and/or voltage of one of the first pair of negative cables has deviated from the other of the first pair of negative cables.
