Pyro-Fuse

Eco-friendly electric vehicles (EV, HEV, PHV) have rapidly penetrated the market as social awareness towards environmental protection increased over the years.
EVs equipped with high-voltage battery requires anti-electrification and secondary disasters in case of traffic accidents and malfunctions.

Daicel Safety Strategic Business Unit(SBU)s' Pyro-Fuse enables safe, instantaneous shutdown of high-voltage electric currents.

Pyro-Fuse could also be utilized not only for EVs but also any industrial applications in need of instant circuit isolation.

Operating principle of Pyro-Fuses

When the signal is detected from the vehicle, an ignition current is generated to operate the Pyro-Fuse, shutting down the circuit and preventing electrical flow.

    1. The ignition current is generated based on the ECU signal.
    1. The initiator ignition operates gas emission.
    1. The pressurized piston detaches the busbar, shutting down the electric circuit.
