    摘要: A current limiting spark gap for use in a high voltage valve type lightning or surge arrester includes a plurality of insulating gap plates assembled together in a vertical stack to define a generally horizontally extending arc elongation and cooling chamber between adjacent plates. Series gap electrodes are disposed along opposite sides of each plate and are double electrodes formed by a unitary piece of wire preformed to slide into position onto each plate. A gap spacer is provided in each arc chamber interfitting with the series gap electrodes and the insulating plates for accurately defining and enclosing the series gap and for maintaining the spark gap as an assembly. A new and improved spark initiator with two, resilient, ionizing arms is provided in each arc chamber for consistently achieving low impulse voltage sparkover. One or more auxiliary electrodes may be provided in each arc chamber to enhance power follow current limitation by dividing the arc into two or more arc portions and by rapidly elongating and moving the arc portions to the cooling wall portions of each arc chamber. The air gaps in each arc chamber formed between the gap electrodes converge to first air gaps of closest electrode spacing and then diverge along extended arc surfaces of the electrodes to and beyond where the spacing between extended arc surfaces is at least equal to three times the closest spacing.

    摘要: A spark gap device for a lightning arrester comprising a first spark gap having a uniform electric field characteristic and a second spark gap connected in parallel with the first spark gap and having a nonuniform electric field characteristic. The spark gaps are disposed in a hermetically sealed housing having an electrically negative gas disposed therein. The resultant spark gap device has a substantially constant sparkover voltage charactetistic since a discharge due to a lightning surge voltage always takes place first across the first spark gap and a discharge due to a low frequency voltage always takes place first across the second spark gap.

    摘要: A spark gap system for a surge voltage arrester of the magnetically quenched type is composed of a stack of superposed plates each of which is provided with a recess which defines an arc chamber and a pair of spaced electrodes therein and between which an arc can be struck and lengthened by the magnetic field. The pairs of electrodes in adjacent arc chambers are electrically connected in parallel, and an arrangement of ducts which provide an inter-communication between adjacent chambers permit the ionized gas formed by an arc in either chamber after being lengthened to pass to the other chamber to assist in striking an arc in the latter chamber as the arc in the first-mentioned chamber is extinguished. The arc is thus enabled to be transferred back and forth between adjacent arc chambers until the current has been reduced to such an extent that no further arc can be sustained.

    摘要: A sparkgap assembly for a surge voltage arrester is provided with a plurality of elongated electrodes mounted between stacked plates of insulating material to form a zigzag discharge path through the sparkgap assembly when it is sparked over. The sparkgap assembly is provided with uniquely formed end plates that provide corona shielding and contact the outer electrodes of the assembly in a manner such that these electrodes develop an arc-moving, horngap effect when an overvoltage surge is discharged through the assembly.
