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.
