摘要: A multiple spark-gap arrester is disclosed. In an embodiment the arrester includes a series connection of a plurality of spark gaps between a first potential node and a reference-ground potential node and a trigger circuit having an input and an output, the input being coupled to a second potential node between two adjacent spark gaps of the plurality of spark gaps, and the output being coupled to at least one of the spark gaps between the second potential node and the reference-ground potential node, wherein the trigger circuit is configured, when at least one spark gap between the first potential node and the second potential node is ignited, to supply a trigger signal for the at least one of the spark gaps between the second potential node and the reference-ground potential node.

摘要: The object of the invention is an ignition circuit for a series connection of at least two spark gaps for limiting overvoltages with medium and high power, particularly overvoltages corresponding to pulse shapes 8/20 μs and 10/350 μs with amplitudes of about 10 kA to about 200 kA (class I arrester). The spark gaps are each equipped with at least one auxiliary electrode. The ignition circuit has a first varistor and a second varistor, with the ignition circuit being particularly suited to limiting overvoltages with medium power, particularly overvoltages corresponding to pulse shape 8/20 μs with amplitudes of about 10 to about 100 kA (class II arrester). The ignition circuit is designed to be connected to the auxiliary electrodes, with the ignition circuit Z having two ignition subcircuits. The first ignition subcircuit TZ1 has the first varistor VAR1 and is designed to ignite the first spark gap. The second ignition subcircuit has the second varistor and is designed to ignite the second spark gap. Further objects of the invention are an overvoltage protection device with this kind of ignition circuit, as well as the use of a multi-contact varistor for triggering a spark gap.

摘要: A surge protector having a hot line, a load line, a neutral line, and a ground line, the surge protector is provided. The surge protector has a fuse coupled between the hot line and the load line to protect loads from current surges. A differential mode protection circuit is coupled between the load line and the neutral line to protect loads from differential mode transient voltage surges. A common mode protection circuit is coupled to the load line, the neutral line and the ground line to protect loads from common mode transient voltage surges. An indicator circuit monitors the differential mode protection circuit and the common mode protection circuit to provide an indication as to the operational status of the surge protector.

摘要: A spark gap arrangement comprises a triggerable spark gap (TF) and a trigger circuit (TRG), which comprises a first and a second charge store (C1, C2), a first resistor (R1), a triggerable dissipation element (SF, SF3, TD, TH) and a transformer (T1). The trigger circuit is set up to intermediately store the energy of an input pulse supplied to the input side of the trigger circuit (TRG), wherein storage takes place at least by means of the first charge store (C1). A part of the stored energy is transferred to the second charge store (C2) via the first resistor (R1). The triggerable dissipation element (SF, TD, TH) is set up to turn on on the basis of a voltage across the second charge store (C2) and to discharge the first charge store (C1) via a primary side (T11) of the transformer (T1). In this case, a secondary side (T12) of the transformer (T1) is connected to a main electrode (HE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF) and to a trigger electrode (TE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF).

摘要: A surge arrester includes a gas-tight discharge chamber that is formed by at least one insulating body and two electrodes. The electrodes extend into the discharge chamber and include an electrode spacing with respect to one another and a wall spacing with respect to the insulating body inner wall. The electrode spacing is equal to twice the wall spacing or is less than twice the wall spacing.

摘要: A surge arrester comprises an electrical insulator (10), which surrounds a cavity (20), a pin electrode (30) and a tube electrode (40), which are arranged in the cavity (20), wherein the pin electrode (30) projects into the tube electrode (40). An ignition strip (50) is applied on an inner surface (S10a) of the insulator facing the cavity (20). An outer metallization (61, 62, 63) is arranged on an outer surface (S10b) of the insulator (10). As a result, an effective reduction of the protection level can be achieved in the case of the surge arrester.
