A plate stack in a cooling device for hot gases generated in electric installation devices, preferably in low-voltage power switches. The plate stack is arranged in the flow path of the hot switching gases into a window, the plate stack having identical plates made of a material with a high heat conductivity. Each of the plates is provided with spacer elements which correspond to the spacing of the plates, and the plates are arranged in the stack such that the orientation of the plates changes one after the other.

A vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle are provided. The method of controlling the vehicle includes detecting, by an excitation voltage computational measuring device, an excitation voltage applied to an excitation coil of a relay provided to regulate power supply of a battery; calculating, by a logical determination device, a temperature of the relay based on the excitation voltage; and calculating, by the logical determination device, a remaining life of the relay based on the calculated temperature of the relay.

An electrical assembly may include a contactor, a bus bar connected to the contactor, a bracket connected to the bus bar, a flexible circuit electrically connected to the contactor, and/or a cooling member connected to the bracket. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include disposing a flexible circuit at least partially on and/or in the bracket, connecting a bus bar with the one or more contactors, connecting the bus bar with the bracket, electrically connecting the flexible circuit to the one or more contactors, disposing a cooling member on or about the bracket, and/or connecting the cooling member with the bracket.

Provided is a circuit assembly including: a main relay that is to be electrically connected between a load and a battery; a pre-charge circuit connected in parallel with the main relay; and a heat transfer member, wherein the pre-charge circuit includes current-carrying portions that are to be connected to the main relay, and the heat transfer member and the current-carrying portions are in contact with each other.

A relay unit includes: bus bars serving as conductive paths; relays including contact portions for turning on and off energization of the bus bars, and a plurality of terminals connected to the contact portions, the bus bars being fixed to the terminals; and heat dissipation members that are fixed to the terminals of the relays, receive heat of the terminals, and dissipate the heat.

A system (100) for controlling temperature of a persistent current switch (120) operating in a background magnetic field includes a heat exchanger (138), a loop tube (135), a ball valve (245) and multiple electromagnets (251, 252). The heat exchanger disperses heat to a cryocooler (106). The loop tube enables flow of coolant to convectively transfer thermal energy generated by the persistent current switch to the heat exchanger. The ball valve is integrated with the loop tube between the persistent current switch and the heat exchanger, and contains a ferromagnetic ball (250). The electromagnets are positioned outside the loop tube adjacent to the ball valve, where energizing a first electromagnet of the multiple electromagnets magnetically moves the ferromagnetic ball to a first position opening the loop tube and enabling the flow of the coolant, and energizing a second electromagnets magnetically moves the ferromagnetic ball to a second position closing the loop tube and blocking the flow of the coolant.
