Background
Lightning is one of ten natural disasters. With the progress of technology, the equipment is more intelligent, the integration level is higher and higher, and the equipment is more sensitive to transient overvoltage, namely surge, caused by lightning. In addition, power surges can occur from the start and stop of high power equipment. The surge protector can prevent the surge from damaging equipment, and is widely applied to the industries of communication, building, rail transit, electric power, new energy, petrochemical industry and the like. When the peak current or voltage is generated in the circuit of the electric loop due to lightning stroke or external interference, the surge protector can be conducted in a very short time to release the current and limit the voltage to a lower level, so that damage of the surge to other equipment in the loop is avoided.
A common component in surge protectors used in power distribution systems is a varistor. The varistor has a very high resistance under normal operating conditions, corresponding to an open circuit condition, and when the voltage in the circuit exceeds a predetermined value, its resistance drops sharply, being in a conductive state, allowing the magnitude of the current to be discharged, limiting the overvoltage level.
However, after a long time of use, the varistor is gradually aged, the leakage current is gradually increased, and the heat balance is broken, resulting in a continuous rise in the temperature of the product. In order to prevent the varistor from causing a fire accident due to overheating, a thermal protection tripping device is generally arranged in the surge protector for disconnecting the varistor from the circuit when the temperature rises, and after the varistor is disconnected from the circuit, the surge protector is failed, and the protection effect on equipment is lost. And the failed surge protection device is provided with a state indicator to prompt maintenance personnel to replace the surge protection device in time. In some unattended occasions, a remote signaling device is required to be designed to realize remote indication of the failure state of the surge protector.
At present, in the existing surge protection device, the internal structure is complex, the production cycle is long, and the product reliability is low and the product volume is large.
