Description
VARISTOR WITH THREE PARALLEL CERAMIC LAYER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a varistor or surge absorber, and more particularly to a varistor has three parallel ceramic layers for protecting a single- or three-phase circuit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a varistor or surge absorber, and more particularly to a varistor has three parallel ceramic layers for protecting a single- or three-phase circuit.
2. Related Prior Art Fig. 1 shows a conventional varistor. The varistor includes a zinc oxide ceramic 11 with two electrodes 12 on both sides thereof. The electrodes are normally made from silver and two leads 13 are welded thereon. The leads 13 are normally tin-coated copper wires. The varistor is further coated and packaged with epoxy powder for insulation. The zinc oxide ceramic 11 with grain boundary can protect a circuit from surge by transforming the electrical energy into heat dissipation. The relationship of heat generation (H), Cp specified heat coefficient of material, total mass (m) and temperature gradient (AT) is based on the principle: H = Cp x m x AT. That is, temperature gradient (AT) will be smaller for a surge-absorber with larger mass (m) when the same heat is supplied.
On the other hand, resistance of the varistor will decrease with increasing of the temperature, and thus current leakage increases. If heat generation is larger than heat dissipation overtime, the zinc oxide ceramic will worsen or even flame up due to local high heat. Such situation is very dangerous for users and circumambience and should be avoided.
FIG. 2 shows three traditional surge absorbers 21, 22, 23 to protect the L-N-G (Line-Neutral-Ground) power source, in which the varistor 21 operates on the L-N line, the varistor 22 operates on the N-G line and the varistor 23 operates on the L-G line. Since the three varistors operate independently, therefore the heat generated during surge has to be diffused from the respective varistor.
FIG 3 shows the surge absorber disclosed in R.O.C. (Taiwan) Patent No. 591837, published June 11, 2004 in which the ceramic (e) comprises four terminals (a)-(d) as shown in (A), or three terminals when the terminals (b) and (c) are shorted. Though such design may protect the L-N-G power source, capacitances between the terminals are significantly increased by 50% after connecting the terminals (b) and (c), as shown in (B). In other words, the series or parallel association of the ceramic (e) results in that capacitive reactance decreases by 66% as the capacitance increases by 50%. If an alternating current is supplied, current leakage will increase and the device will be damaged. The tests regarding this device also indicate that the electrodes thereof do not operate independently.
To solve the above problem, the present invention thus provides an improved varistor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One object of the present invention is to provide a varistor (or surge absorber), which can independently protect individual circuit lines of a three-phase power source.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a varistor, which can integrally protect the lines of a single-phase power source.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a varistor, which has a normally functional breakdown voltage and operates at a lower temperature.
The varistor of the present invention comprises three parallel ceramic layers each having two electrodes disposed on both sides, and a plurality of leads properly connecting these electrodes to form a three- or single-phase varistor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS
To describe the present invention in detail, the preferred embodiments are illustrated with the drawings.
In FIG. 4, (A) and (B) are respectively a perspective view and a cross-section view of a varistor in accordance with the present invention.
The varistor is composed of three ceramic layers, six electrodes and four leads.
The three ceramic layers are integrated in parallel and sequentially defined as the 1 st varistor 41, the 2nd varistor 42, and the 3rd varistor 43.
Each of the ceramic layers 41 -43 can provide an independent path for surge as the conventional varistor. The ceramic layers are preferably made of metal oxide powder, for example, zinc oxide. The ceramic layers can be shaped as desired, for example, disk-shaped, square, spherical, etc. The ceramic layers can be combined in any proper ways, for example, contacting each other with an adhesion, or formed integrally.
Among the six electrodes, the 1 st electrode 44 and the 2nd electrode 45 are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the lst varistor 41;
the 3rd electrode 46 and the 4th electrode 47 are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the 2nd varistor 42; and the 5th electrode 48 and the 6th electrode 49 are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the 3rd varistor 43. Relatively, the 3rd electrode 46 is adjacent to the 2nd electrode 45; and the 5th electrode 48 is adjacent to the 4th electrode 47.
The four leads are defined as the 1 st lead 4a welded to the 1 st electrode 44, the 2nd lead 4b welded to the 2nd electrode 45 and the 3rd electrode 46, the 3rd lead 4c welded to the 4th electrode 47 and the 5th electrode 48, and the 4th lead 4d welded to the 6th electrode 49.
In FIG 5, (A) and (B) respectively illustrate connection of the leads and an equivalent circuit for protecting a three-phase power source, in which the leads 4a and 4d are connected with a wire 51. Therefore, the varistor 41 may protect the L-N circuit, the varistor 42 may protect the N-G circuit, and the varistor 43 may protect the L-G circuit. Though each varistor operates independently, heat generated by one varistor can be transferred to the others. In other words, the varistor can remain a lower temperature during surge since a larger mass and a wider surface area are provided for heat generation and transfer.
In FIG 6, (A) and (B) respectively illustrate connection of the leads and an equivalent circuit for protecting a single-phase power source, in which the leads 4a and 4c are connected with a wire 61, and the leads 4b and 4d are connected with a wire 62. As a result, the ceramic layers 41, 42, 43 may together protect the circuit between L 1 and L2. Since the three ceramic layers operate as a whole, protection effect for surge is promoted, and the temperature is also remained lower.
In accordance with the structure of the present invention, methods for producing the varistor are not restricted, but able to properly arrange and combine the ceramic layers, electrodes and leads. Furthermore, the ceramic layers, electrodes and leads can be arranged in different orders or positions optionally.
As described in the above, the varistor of the present invention performs advantages as follows:
l. The varistor of the present invention provides a larger mass and surface area for heat absorption and dissipation and is obviously safer and more durable than the conventional.
2. The three parallel ceramic layers of the varistor can independently operate on respective circuit lines of a three-phase power source.
On the other hand, resistance of the varistor will decrease with increasing of the temperature, and thus current leakage increases. If heat generation is larger than heat dissipation overtime, the zinc oxide ceramic will worsen or even flame up due to local high heat. Such situation is very dangerous for users and circumambience and should be avoided.
FIG. 2 shows three traditional surge absorbers 21, 22, 23 to protect the L-N-G (Line-Neutral-Ground) power source, in which the varistor 21 operates on the L-N line, the varistor 22 operates on the N-G line and the varistor 23 operates on the L-G line. Since the three varistors operate independently, therefore the heat generated during surge has to be diffused from the respective varistor.
FIG 3 shows the surge absorber disclosed in R.O.C. (Taiwan) Patent No. 591837, published June 11, 2004 in which the ceramic (e) comprises four terminals (a)-(d) as shown in (A), or three terminals when the terminals (b) and (c) are shorted. Though such design may protect the L-N-G power source, capacitances between the terminals are significantly increased by 50% after connecting the terminals (b) and (c), as shown in (B). In other words, the series or parallel association of the ceramic (e) results in that capacitive reactance decreases by 66% as the capacitance increases by 50%.
