Battery arrangement for operating electrical loads in a vehicle for transporting hazardous materials
First Claim
1. A battery arrangement for an electrical load in a vehicle configured to carry hazardous material, comprising:
- a battery having at least one first connection electrically connectable to the electrical load;
a first electrical resistor connected electrically in series with the battery and a second connection, the second connection being electrically connectable to the electrical load;
a switch component part connected electrically in parallel with the first electrical resistor and electrically connected to the battery, the switch component part being controllable such that when a first voltage, which can be applied at a third connection, exceeds a presettable value, the switch component part is closed to short circuit the first resistor, and in the case when the first voltage falls below the presettable value, the switch component part is opened to cancel the short circuit; and
a delay element configured to delay a switching operation of the switch component part, the delay element being connected electrically in series between a first contact of the switch component part and the third connection and being arranged such that, in the case of a loss of the first voltage, a second voltage is provided that is present at the first contact and is reduceable after a presettable time.

Abstract
A battery arrangement for electrical loads in a vehicle for transporting hazardous waste includes: a battery having at least a first terminal, electrically connectable to an electrical load; a first electrical resistor electrically connected in series to the battery and a second terminal, the second terminal being electrically connectable to the electrical load; and a switch component connected electrically in parallel to the first electrical resistor and connected electrically to the battery. The switch component is controlled such that a first voltage applicable to a third terminal and having a value exceeding a specifiable value closes the switch component and the first resistor is short-circuited. When the applicable first voltage falls below the specifiable value, the switch component opens and the short-circuit is broken.
