B Reaktor technology is energy management company Eaton’s new advanced circuit protection solution for BEVs, combining the functions of fuses, pyroswitches and contactors into one coordinated device. As electric vehicle (EV) performance improves, Break’s circuit protection solutions solve the growing challenge of coordination between fuses and contactors, while providing fast, safe and reliable protection for high-power battery and inverter systems.
Break’s circuit protection technology leverages Eaton’s industrial electronics and automotive expertise to provide performance and reliability while simplifying architecture. Break’s circuit protection technology trips short-circuit faults up to 900 volts and 25,000 amps in less than 4 milliseconds, improving vehicle safety and providing more effective protection from overcurrent conditions than traditional circuit protection methods.
Protect your components. Break’s circuit protection solutions are resettable like a circuit breaker, allowing devices to restart after functional testing, reducing costs for both OEMs and consumers. Break’s circuit protection technology offers BEV manufacturers the following benefits:
A self-triggering device that can sense a current spike and break the circuit without the need for external sensing or triggering.
Operation independent of current direction.
Current limiting device in case of short circuit for enhanced system level protection.
This allows both charging and operation under maximum electrical loads.
Available in multiple configurations including voltage levels and multi-pin designs.
