    摘要: The invention relates to a system for protecting an electrical source or an electrical load, having a module comprising an input and an output, and an electronic safety device for the load that can be connected to the source. The module also comprises a voltage monitoring unit, a current monitoring unit, and semiconductor switching units and controllers associated therewith. According to the invention, in order to selectively apply the protection to the source or the protection to the load, a unit for electrical mirroring on the circuit side is provided so that in the event of source protection, the current monitoring unit is applied at the input end and the voltage monitoring unit is applied at the output end, and in the event of load protection, the voltage monitoring unit is applied at the input end and the current monitoring unit is applied at the output end.

    摘要: The invention relates to a lightning and overvoltage protection device for data networks, telephony services, electroacoustic installations or bus systems having at least two grid-side input terminals and at least two output terminals, to which the load that is to be protected can be connected, furthermore having a gas-discharge surge arrester that connects the input terminals and an inductance located between the respective input and output terminal. According to the invention, the inductances are configured as current-compensated inductors having a core and a primary winding and a secondary winding, wherein the load current flows through the windings in different directions so that the respective magnetic fields cancel out. In the event of transient overvoltages, the arising surge current is bypassed by means of a switching device that then closes at one of the two windings, for example the secondary winding, in such a way that, owing to the winding through which current flows, for example the primary winding, the core reaches saturation and the coupling between the windings is released, with the result that no voltage is established across the load and the voltage applied to the winding through which current flows ignites the gas-discharge surge arrester.

    摘要: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for combined protection of a load from temporary and transient overvoltages with emergency operation of the load in the presence of a temporary overvoltage and with integrated follow current limitation, wherein a first surge arrester, in particular a spark gap or a varistor, is provided between network-side input terminals and a second surge arrester, in particular a varistor, is provided between load-side output terminals for follow current limitation. According to the invention, at least one controlled semiconductor switch is provided in each case in the series branch between the input terminal and the output terminal and in the output-side parallel branch, wherein a mechanical switch and a series capacitance are connected in parallel with the semiconductor switch in the series branch. Furthermore, the semiconductor switch in the parallel branch is part of a series circuit comprising a parallel circuit comprising a second surge arrester and a parallel capacitance. A series inductance is provided in the series branch between the input terminal and the parallel circuit comprising the series capacitance, the controlled semiconductor switch and the mechanical switch. A microcontroller for controlling the semiconductor switches is also present, wherein the microcontroller is connected to a current detector in the series branch.
