A device for monitoring a boat drive, preferably for monitoring a drive battery of a boat drive, includes a first water sensor configured to switch off the boat drive when a first water level is reached, and a second water sensor configured so as to output a water level warning when a second water level is reached.

Circuit interrupter positioned between supply circuit and load circuit includes fault detection circuit that senses wave forms to the load circuit, fault processing circuit that detects presence of fault and generates fault output signal when fault detected, and control circuit switch connected to fault processing signal output, wherein control circuit switch is opened by presence of fault output signal, thus isolating load circuit from supply circuit. Preferably fault processing circuit and control circuit are optically linked, such that when fault is detected, control circuit switch is opened by optical fault output signal, thus isolating load circuit from the supply circuit. Circuit interrupter may couple another circuit interrupter via power distribution control unit, optionally manageable remotely via automated control interface.

A frequency converter includes a storage element for storing electrical energy and a detector connected to the storage element and including a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor. The detector detects a physical variable hi immediate vicinity of the storage element and provides a signal in accordance with an electrical resistance of the detector when a predefinable change over time of the physical variable is exceeded, with the electrical resistance representing an output of the detector. A housing encloses or substantially encloses the detector and the storage element. Communicating with the detector is an evaluation facility to detect the predefinable change over time of the physical variable. The evaluation facility and/or the detector is/are connected to a higher-level security system designed to decouple and/or to divert the electrical energy from the storage element when the predefinable change over time of the physical variable is exceeded.

A method and system for predicting performance of a fluid filled electrical device are provided. The system includes a sensing unit operable communicating with a fluid level estimation system. The sensing unit includes one or more sensors physically mountable on and/or around the electrical device, recording temperature data associated with the fluid and the ambient environment. The fluid level estimation system determines temperatures of the fluid and a an ambient temperature, generates feature vectors for one or more of the temperatures based on their correlation with the ambient temperature, and estimates a fluid level inside the electrical device and thereby the performance, based on the feature vectors and a probability density function derived from a distribution constructed using historical temperature gradient data associated with the electrical device.

An explosion-proof device includes a frame having a hollow shape, the frame housing an electrical component and a battery capable of supplying the electrical component with electric power. A protection device is configured to stop electric supply to the electrical component from the battery, if there is a risk of an explosive atmosphere entering the frame. The battery is housed in an explosion-proof container, within the frame, and thus it is possible to suppress damage to surroundings effectively even in case of ignition of an explosive atmosphere flowing into the frame by the battery.
