Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lightning arrester.
  • a surge arrester is a device which is placed between the phase and the ground of a high-voltage line and which makes it possible to limit the amplitude and the duration of atmospheric overvoltages (shock due to lightning and induction phenomena in conductors) , or temporary electrical overvoltages in the network (operating shock).
  • a surge arrester The functions of a surge arrester are therefore on the one hand to permanently support the nominal operating voltage, and on the other hand to drain the strong discharge current appearing during a temporary overvoltage, so as to protect the equipment from the line (transformers ).
  • a core made of a varistor type material based for example on zinc oxide ZnO, the electrical resistivity of which is highly non-linear as a function of the applied voltage.
  • European patent application EP-A-0196 370 discloses a lightning arrester structure comprising a central core of varistor type material, two end fittings threaded and glued to the ends of the side wall of said core, with two intermediate spring blades between the bases of this core and the fitting; an insulating coating with fins is provided around the side wall of the assembly.
  • Such a structure has drawbacks because it involves on the one hand a machining of the ends of the core, machining which risks damaging it, creating cracks or fractures, and on the other hand a bonding of the fittings which can disturb their contact electric with the ends of the core.
  • a lightning arrester the central core of which comprises several cylindrical pellets stacked in varistor-type material, two extreme fittings being in contact with the pellets by means of blades. springs; this assembly is mechanically linked by a unitary sheath made of a heat-shrinkable material. Such a method is difficult to implement and therefore expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is to simplify the manufacture of lightning arresters and to reduce their cost.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a lightning arrester comprising a central core of substantially revolution shape comprising at least one varistor, two extreme metal fittings and a side casing of electrically insulating material, characterized in that said metal fittings are overmolded on the metallized ends of said central core and then said lateral envelope, selected from composite material, is overmolded on said core and at least a portion of said fittings.
  • composite materials means elastomers, EPDM, silicones, etc. and resins, loaded or not (epoxy resin, etc.).
  • the metal of said fittings is such that its melting temperature is of the order of 400 ° C; these are for example zinc, lead, tin, aluminum and their alloys, such as Zamak.
  • the fittings are directly overmolded on its ends.
  • the overmolding of the fittings allows the production of a unitary assembly, and the overmolded coating fills the gaps between these bars.
  • This joining of the stack can be carried out for example by thermocompression by inserting a thickness of metal between two faces in contact and by applying a high pressure at high temperature. It can also be carried out in a simple manner by casting or injection of metal between the facing faces of the pellets placed in a mold.
  • a core 1 of a varistor type material for example based on zinc oxide.
  • This core has a generally cylindrical shape with axis 4 with two end faces 2 and 3 provided with a metallization layer; it is not necessary that this shape is regular, nor that the faces 2 and 3 are perfectly flat and orthogonal to the axis 4.
  • the metal fittings 5 and 6 are in fact produced by overmolding on the ends of the core 1 , which allows good electrical contact to be obtained between the ends of the core 1 and these fittings.
  • a material chosen from zinc and its alloys, aluminum and its alloys, etc. can be used for these fittings.
  • the core with a total height of approximately 180 mm could be compatible with a nominal operating voltage of 20 kvolts, and with a cross section of approximately 900 mm2, to allow the flow of '' a current wave of more than 40 KAmps for four tenths of a microsecond.
  • the core 1 of FIG. 1 can be formed of several bars of smaller cross section, as appears in FIGS. 2a and 2b where seven bars 10 based on zinc oxide are regularly illustrated around a axis 14.
  • the cross section of the entire these bars is equivalent to the section provided above for a unitary core; the lengths can be substantially the same for the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2a.
  • Fittings 15 and 16 are overmolded on the at least partially metallized ends of the bars 10, and the elastomer coating 17 is then produced, also by overmolding, this material filling the intervals between the bars 10.
  • FIG 3 there is a surge arrester with elements identical to those of Figure 1, except for the central core. It is formed in this variant of a plurality of pellets 21, 22, 23, 24 based on zinc oxide, for example of the same section as the core 1, and whose stack has the same length as the core 1. This stack is stiffened by a connection of the faces in contact by thermocompression. For this, a very thin thickness of fusible metal is introduced between two pellets. Mechanical compression of the assembly combined with heat treatment makes it possible to obtain a very good mechanical bond.
  • metal is a material with a relatively low melting point like zinc; the pressure is around 1 kg / mm2, and the temperature around 400 ° C.
  • the assembly process continues as for core 1 in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 a variant of connection of the pads 21, 22, 23, 24 is shown to produce the central core.
  • metal melting at low temperature, such as zinc, Zamak, or lead, so as to create metallic bonds. 31, 32, 33. This coating ensures both the electrical contact and the mechanical connection between the pellets.
