Surge protector of the present invention; its shell, box body, slide block and moving block aerogenesis insulating material or not aerogenesis insulating material making; preferably make of the aerogenesis insulating material; because the gas that the aerogenesis insulating material produces cools off electric arc on the one hand; strengthen the air-blowing effect to electric arc on the other hand, can accelerate electric arc to the movement velocity of arc control device gas outlet.The aerogenesis insulating material can be selected polyformaldehyde or nylon, melamine for use.
The operation principle of surge protector of the present invention:
Surge protector is through after working long hours or repeatedly impacting, overvoltage protection element (piezo-resistance) is deterioration gradually, temperature raises gradually, perhaps there is especially big overload current to pass through, the temperature that causes overvoltage protection element (piezo-resistance) raises fast, when the temperature of metal clips weld in second pin of overvoltage protection element and the release unit reaches the fusing of scolder or melt temperature, second pin of described metal clips and overvoltage protection element is disconnected from each other, the active force that moving block in the arc-control device is applied and the active force that stage clip in the release unit is applied have been removed, thereby the moving block in the arc-control device rotates to the second limited wall direction that box body arranges under the elastic restoring force effect that torsion spring produces, the slide block in the release unit under the elastic restoring force effect that stage clip produces with metal clips set first limited wall direction motion on the box body; Rotation along with moving block; metal clips and overvoltage protection element second pin are separately carried out electrical isolation; while both cooled off the electric arc of metal clips and overvoltage protection element pin separation process generation; the shock wave of motion backward that described electric arc is produced reflects again; because reflected wave is consistent towards arc control device gas outlet travel direction with electric arc, make electric arc discharge, elongate from described gas outlet as early as possible.When moving block turns to second set on the box body limited wall place, the arcing chamber that arranges on the moving block covers second pin of overvoltage protection element; Along with moving upward of slide block; the distance of metal clips and overvoltage protection element second pin constantly increases; move to first set on the box body limited wall place when slide block drives metal clips, finish the electrical separation of metal clips and overvoltage protection element second pin.
The present invention has following beneficial effect:
1; the structure of the arc-control device in the surge protector of the present invention makes it have the function of extinguishing hard arc; release unit in the surge protector of the present invention can make metal clips leave second pin of overvoltage protection element fast; finish the quick electrical separation of metal clips and overvoltage protection element second pin; thereby release unit separates with circuit or device security when having guaranteed that with the combination of arc-control device surge protector breaks down; solve surge protector and be applied to that little electrical current heat in the ac and dc systems is stable to break away from and technical barrier that big current overload breaks away from, especially in the DC circuit of the alternating current circuit of higher system voltage and big short circuit current or equipment (for example wind power plant) and higher system voltage and less short circuit current or equipment (for example photovoltaic generation equipment) application, had very high fail safe.
2, experiment shows; when driving metal clips, slide block moves to first set on the box body limited wall place; after finishing metal clips and the electricity of overvoltage element second pin separating; surge protector namely breaks away from AC-DC Circuit or equipment fully; when its two ends apply maximum continuous operating voltage; the electric current that does not have above 0.5mA flows through, thereby fail safe improves.
3, owing to be provided with indicating device in the surge protector of the present invention; thereby be convenient to operating personnel and monitor the residing state of overvoltage protection element; after the overvoltage protection element breaks down, can in time find and change, guarantee the safety of protected circuit or equipment.
