Description

  

      Spannungsabhängiger    Widerstand.    Beim Bau von     Überspannungsabfeitern     gelangen     bekannteiweise    meist spannungs  abhängige Widerstände zur Verwendung,  welche in der Regel     dme        zylindrische    Form  aufweisen und aus einem Material bestehen,  das z. B. als aktiven Bestandteil     Siliziumkar-          bid    enthält.

   Es ist erwünscht,     dass        solche     Widerstände     kurzzdtig    sehr grosse Ströme       durchlassen.    und bei möglichst kleinem Raum  bedarf das     grösstmögliche        Ableitvermögen     aufweisen. Man     ist    deshalb bestrebt, über  alle Querschnitte des     Widerstandskörpere    die  Stromdichte gleichmässig zu gestalten, um       einerseits'    lokale Überhitzung zu     vermeiden     und anderseits die beste     Raumausnützung    zu  erreichen.

   In der Regel werden solche Wi  derstände     zylinder-    oder scheibenförmig her  gestellt,     wobeli    die ebenen     Stirnseiten    als  Kontaktflächen für die Stromzuführung  dienen und zu diesem Zwecke meist metalli  siert werden.

   Aus     fabrikationstechnlischen     Gründen ist     es    schwierig, diese Stirnseiten       bis    an den     äussersten    Rand zu metallisieren,  was zur Folge hat, dass     dhie        eigentliche,    gut  leitende     Stromzuführungsfläche    kleiner ist  als der     benachbarte    Querschnitt des Wider  standes, wodurch an der Randzone eine Stei  gerung der Stromdichte auftritt, welche zu  Durchschlägen Anlass geben kann.  



  Die vorliegende Erfindung hat nun den  Zweck,     dliesen        Nachteil    zu     vermeiden,    indem  bei solchen spannungsabhängigen Widerstän  den von     zyl'indris,cher    Form die gutleitenden       stirnseitigen        Stromübergangs:flächen    an ihren    Rändern so nach aussen gekrümmt werden,  dass die     Stromdhichte    in der Übergangszone  gegen die Ränder hin     keine        Steigerung        er-          fährt;.     



  Auf der nachstehenden Zeichnung zeigen  die     Fig.    1 und 2 ein Ausführungsbeispiel des       Erfiindungsgedankens.        Fig.    1 stellt einen  Widerstand aus spannungsabhängigem Mate  rial im     Schnitt    dar. Der     kreiszylinderför-          mvge        Widerstandskörper    1 weist auf     seinen     beiden     Sbtirnseiten    .die     metallisierten        Stro,m-          überga.ngsflächen    2 auf.

   Diese letzteren sind  an ihren     Rändern    konkav abgebogen, so dass  ihr     gegenseitiger    Abstand gegen den Rand  hin     zunimmt.     



       Fig.    2 zeigt in vergrössertem Massstab     ebne          solche    Randzone, in welcher der Stromver  lauf durch die     punktierten    Linien 3 angedeu  tet ist. Man kann daraus ersehen, wie die       Stromdiohte        glelichmassig    verteilt ist und des  halb     k-eine    lokalen Überlastungen des Wider  standes auftreten können.



      Voltage dependent resistance. When building surge arresters, it is known that mostly voltage-dependent resistors are used, which usually have a cylindrical shape and are made of a material that, for. B. contains silicon carbide as an active ingredient.

   It is desirable that such resistors briefly allow very large currents to pass through. and must have the greatest possible discharge capacity in the smallest possible space. The aim is therefore to make the current density uniform over all cross-sections of the resistor body, on the one hand to avoid local overheating and on the other hand to achieve the best utilization of space.

   As a rule, such resistors are made cylindrical or disk-shaped, whereby the flat end faces serve as contact surfaces for the power supply and are usually metallized for this purpose.

   For manufacturing reasons, it is difficult to metallize these end faces up to the very edge, which means that the actual, highly conductive power supply surface is smaller than the adjacent cross-section of the resistor, which leads to an increase in the current density at the edge zone. which can give rise to breakdowns.



  The present invention now has the purpose of avoiding this disadvantage, in that in the case of such voltage-dependent resistances of zyl'indris, cher shape the well-conducting frontal current transition surfaces are curved outward at their edges so that the current density in the transition zone against the edges towards no increase experienced;



  In the following drawing, FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the concept of the invention. 1 shows a resistor made of voltage-dependent material in section. The circular-cylindrical resistor body 1 has the metallized power transition surfaces 2 on its two end faces.

   These latter are bent concave at their edges, so that their mutual distance increases towards the edge.



       Fig. 2 shows on an enlarged scale such edge zone in which the Stromver course is indicated by the dotted lines 3 tet. One can see from this how the current wire is evenly distributed and therefore local overloads of the resistance can occur.
