Abstract:
An electrical protection unit A including a main conductor and, for each main conductor, a current limiter device connected in series with the main conductor to limit the current when a current or temperature threshold is exceeded, the limiter device including an element made of a material having a positive temperature coefficient, called PTC, and being capable of controlling a device for tripping the mechanism M for opening the contacts of the protection unit D, to cause the opening of the contacts of the unit when the threshold is exceeded leading to a change of state of the element between a low resistance state and a high resistance state. The PTC element includes the trip device, in such a way that this element itself provides the functions of fault current limitation and of tripping the mechanism for opening the contacts.

Claim (Index 12):
The electrical protection unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiter device further includes at least one shunt that is connected in parallel with at least one PTC element, respectively, and configured to set the maximum value of the limited current after the transition of the PTC element.
