Abstract

An arrangement has a coaxial resistor. The coaxial resistor is to be placed on an electrically conductive housing, and sensor lines of the coaxial resistor are to be guided through an interior of the coaxial resistor into the interior of the electrically conductive housing and to be connected to an electrical interface in the electrically conductive housing.

Claims (31)
