Protection in vehicle accidents
In case of a crash, damaged and unprotected cables could lead to a hazardous situation for passengers and/or rescuers. During an accident, the pyro fuse can be triggered by the airbag control device or BMS and before a short-circuit can occur as a result of vehicle deformation.
Protection for Electrical Vehicles
Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles are taking an increasing part of the mobility landscape. Autoliv’s pyrotechnical safety swatches can protect high and low voltage battery systems of electrified vehicles. Our pyro fuses can protect them from battery failures and overcharging due to short circuits, which can lead to thermal events and fires.
Protection for other applications
Autoliv’s pyrofuses can be used to protect low and high voltage electrical systems beyond the automotive applications. They can be used to protect all systems producing, storing, and converting electricity with low and high voltage requirements, including photovoltaic and wind turbine installations, energy stationary storage, fuel cells, charging stations, etc.
