SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING AGAINST SHORT-CIRCUITS

A system for protecting against a short circuit, including a main branch and a secondary branch having a fuse, the system including a pyrotechnic actuator having a gas generator and a piston movable between an initial position and a final position, the system being configured to occupy the following positions: a passive position; and an active position, wherein the secondary branch includes a movable slide which is rigidly connected to one end of the fuse and is capable of being translated by the piston when the system moves from its passive position to its active position, the system being configured so that the slide causes the fuse to break after the main branch has opened when the system moves from its passive position to its active position.
