Definitions
- the invention is in the field of electrical components and can be used in the structural design of a gas-filled surge arrester which is provided with an external short-circuit device.
- Such short-circuiting devices are common both with two-electrode and with three-electrode surge arresters. They serve to protect the surge arrester during long-term loads;
- Such a short-circuit device generally contains a structural element that can be melted at higher temperatures, with the aid of which the two electrodes or the central electrode and one or both end electrodes are short-circuited.
- a spring contact and an arrester contact are arranged electrically parallel to the two electrodes, the spring contact being kept at a distance from the arrester contact by means of a spacer which rests on the insulator of the arrester and softens at elevated temperature.
- This spacer consists of a glass fiber reinforced plastic which is dimensionally stable at normal operating temperature and softens at elevated temperature, for example made of polycarbonate (EP 0 548 587 AI).
- an external short-circuit device is also known, which is provided for those applications in which a large number of arresters are arranged in chambers of a magazine or a cassette made of insulating plastic.
- the short-circuit device in the form of an axial surge arrester non-protruding, electrically conductive stirrups with two right-angled ends are each arranged in a separate chamber located directly next to the respective drain, forming the holding device of the stirrups, one chamber wall forming the fusible spacer.
- the bracket is pre-shaped so that a spring force is exerted on its angled ends when the bracket is inserted into the chamber, under the action of which the ends of the spring bracket penetrate the chamber wall in the event of an overload (EP 0 312 729 AI).
- an external short-circuit device which consists of a clip which is placed on the center electrode and consists of an open ring, one end of which forms a short-circuiting bracket together with laterally formed arms.
- the free ends of the two arms are held radially at a distance from the end electrodes of the conductor by means of a spacer made of a fusible insulating material which is arranged between the center electrode and the shorting bar.
- the free ends of the two arms can be provided with special contacts.
- the contacts mentioned can also be coated with an insulating coating (US Pat. No. 4,984,125 A).
- the free ends of the two arms of the shorting bar are angled such that they rest on the circumferential edge of the respective electrode, the free ends in the area of the contact point have a heat-fusible insulating coating (FR-A-2 670 624).
- the invention lies
- the object of the invention is to design the short-circuiting device in such a way that it protrudes radially as little as possible over the surge arrester, ensures reliable contacting and is easy to assemble.
- the spacer is arranged between the middle part of the shorting bar and the insulator.
- Such a configuration of the short-circuiting device makes use of the known (US 4,984,125) construction of a short-circuiting device, but in this case the clip is not on an electrode, but - in a likewise known manner (FR-A-2 670 624) - on the between two Insulator located on electrodes.
- the shorting bar is arranged floating; This can have an advantageous effect in tight installation conditions (magazine or cassette) insofar as no disturbing short circuit can occur when the shorting bar is contacted on one side with a potential-carrying contact terminal.
- the spacer Since the spacer is arranged between the shorting bar and the insulator, the spacer can be made relatively thin; a relatively inexpensive thermoplastic can also be used for the spacer, since the insulator heats up with a delay compared to the electrodes to be short-circuited.
- a surge arrester designed according to the invention with a short-circuiting device is thus characterized by a very compact and space-saving design with regard to the insertion of a larger number of such arresters in cassettes, the short-circuiting device being able to consist of one or two parts and, due to its simple design, easily being different Arrester geometries is adaptable.
- the short-circuit device can also be retrofitted become; it can also be exchanged after a response, provided the actual operator is still intact.
- the short-circuit device designed according to the invention can be used for both two-electrode and three-electrode arresters.
- each of the two present in such arresters is to be equipped with two insulators with a short-circuit device of the present embodiment.
- the open, snap-on ring of the new short-circuiting device can consist of a heat-resistant plastic or an electrically less conductive, resilient metal (e.g. spring steel or a copper alloy), with one end of the open ring being a metallic, electrically very good conductor (e.g. made of copper) ) Shorting bar is attached or otherwise attached.
- the open ring preferably consists of the same material as the actual shorting bar and is formed in one piece therewith, the open ring for forming the shorting bar being provided at one end with two laterally formed tabs. To improve contact, these tabs can be slightly angled at their free ends.
- a fusible plastic part can be used as a spacer for the short-circuit device in a known manner.
- a spacer made of a solder material can also be used.
- These spacers can have the shape of a rivet, for example, which is attached to the middle part of the bracket.
- a plastic clip placed on the middle part of the bracket can also be used.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. It shows 1 shows a gas-filled surge arrester with two electrodes equipped with a short-circuit device, FIG. 2 shows the short-circuit device without arrester, FIG. 3 shows a surge arrester in which the spacer of the short-circuit device consists of a rivet, and FIG. 4 shows a surge arrester with a short-circuit device in which the spacer consists of a plastic clip,
- Figure 5 shows a short-circuit device with special
- Embodiment of the electrodes of the arrester and FIG. 6 a three-electrode arrester with two short-circuit devices placed on the two insulators.
- FIG. 1 shows a surge arrester 1, which consists of the insulator 2 and the two end electrodes 3 and 4.
- a short-circuiting device 10 is placed on the insulator 2 and consists of an open ring 11 made of spring-hard metal and separately shown in FIG. 2 and an insulating spacer 20.
- the open ring 11 is formed at one end as a shorting bar 12 and has a flat middle section and two laterally formed tabs 14 and 15 which are slightly angled at the ends.
- the axial length of the shorting bar 12 is selected so that the shorting bar does not protrude axially beyond the surge arrester (see also FIG. 5).
- the spacer 20 could also consist of a solder material.
- the short-circuit device for the conductor 1 also consists of an open ring which can be snapped onto the insulator of the conductor, a plastic rivet 21 being used as a spacer for the actual short-circuiting bracket 13 is provided, which is fixed in a bore of the central part 13 of the shorting bar.
- a plastic clip 22 can be used as a spacer, which is pushed onto the central part 13 of the shorting bar.
- the electrodes 31 and 32 of the surge arrester are provided with a larger outside diameter than the insulator 2. This makes it unnecessary to wind down the ends of the actual short-circuit device 16 at the ends.
- FIG. 6 shows an arrester in which a central electrode 5 is arranged between the end electrodes 3 and 4, the arrester having two insulators 6 and 7.
- a short-circuiting device 10 is placed on each isolator, as is also used for the conductor according to FIG. 1.
