Abstract:
In contrast to a conventional surge absorber in which external terminals (4a), (4b) are led from disshaped electrode plates (3a), (3b) soldered to the surfaces of electrodes (2) on a varistor element (1), a surge absorber of the present invention has a varistor element (5), electrodes (6) provided on both sides of the varistor element (5) and electrode plates (7a), (7b) soldered to the surfaces of the electrodes (6), each electrode plates (7a), (7b) having at least one of substantially radial slots and an external terminal (8a), (8b) extended substantially from the center thereof. The surge absorber according to the present invention enables the electrode plates (7a), (7b) to be held in uniform contact with the electrodes (6) during soldering by virtue of the fact that the external terminals (8a), (8b) are led from the central regions thereof, so that the soldering can be conducted effected stably. In addition, since the external terminals (8a), (8b) and led from the central regions of the electrode plates, the electric current in the varistor element is uniformalized to provide a greater surge proof current capacity.

Abstract:
Solderable, largely base metal electrodes for metal oxide varistors are fabricated by screen printing an electrically conductive, air-fireable base metal composition on a varistor material substrate. A distributed fine noble metal array is screen printed over the screened base metal and the varistor heated in air at a temperature of between approximately 500.degree. C. and 800.degree. C. The varistor leads are easily solderable to the noble metal array.
Abstract:
A high voltage varistor for DC operation is manufactured by applying a glass collar to the perimeter of a sintered zinc oxide disc and heat treated between about 750.degree. C. and 400.degree. C. for several cycles in air. After heat treating, an organic resin or ceramic coating is applied to the glass collar to further insulate the varistor for high voltage application.

Abstract:
A metal oxide varistor structure having a reduced voltage overshoot is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the varistor disk, for example, is provided with a relatively small region of reduced thickness, the amount of said thickness reduction being dependent upon the original thickness of the varistor substrate. The area of region of reduced thickness is selected to control conduction duration in the region of reduced thickness.
Abstract:
The arrester comprises an insulating housing with end terminals and a plurality of varistors inside the housing electrically connected between the terminals. The varistors are provided individually or in groups with a heat transfer and sinking collar which is electrically insulating and thermally conducting. The collar may be in thermally conducting contact with the inside wall of the housing to improve heat dissipation to the housing. The configuration of the collar is such that when it is installed in the housing, there is a passageway through it to provide a longitudinal space in the arrester for accommodating arcing and for the venting of gas in the event of an arrester failure.
Abstract:
Flat internal components of an arrester are stacked longitudinally inside the insulating housing cylinder with a perimeter portion contacting the inside wall of the housing. Each component has a guide channel extending longitudinally on its perimeter portion opposite the portion in contact with the wall. A resilient rolling bias member is disposed in the channel of each component in a deformed stressed state and forces the components laterally against the wall.
