Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Überspannungsschutzgerät zum
Schutz von elektrischen Niederspannungsinstallationen
vor Überspannungen gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. The invention relates to a surge protective device for
Protection of low-voltage electrical installations
before overvoltages according to the preamble of
Der korrekte Einsatz von Überspannungsschutzgeräten in Niederspannungsinstallationen ist in nationalen und internationalen Normen sehr ausführlich dargestellt. Diese Normen setzen allerdings ein elektrotechnisches Spezialwissen voraus, welches oftmals einen Elektroinstallateur oder einen Elektroplaner überfordert. Es müssen nämlich eine Vielzahl von Installationsbedingungen beachtet werden, die in die Planung einer elektrischen Anlage und auch in die handwerkliche Ausführung der Anlage einfließen muß. Eine falsche Installation von Überspannungsschutzgeräten kann zur Folge haben, daß einzelne Leitungen und damit die zu schützenden Geräte weiterhin unzulässig hohen Spannungsbelastungen ausgesetzt sind. Im Extremfall kann aufgrund einer falschen Installation der ganze Überspannungsschutz funktionslos werden. Auch kann es zu Überlastungen von Überspannungsschutzgeräten durch Betriebspannungen kommen.The correct use of surge protective devices in Low voltage installations is in national and international standards presented in great detail. However, these standards apply electrotechnical special knowledge ahead, which one often an electrician or Electrical planner overwhelmed. Because there must be one Many installation conditions are observed be in the planning of an electrical Plant and also in the manual execution of the Plant must flow. An incorrect installation of surge protective devices can result have that individual lines and thus the to protective devices continue to be unacceptably high Are exposed to voltage loads. In extreme cases due to incorrect installation the whole Surge protection become inoperative. Can too there is overloading of surge protective devices come from operating voltages.
Diese Probleme haben dazu geführt, daß eine breite Akzeptanz der Überspannungsschutzgeräte bei den Elektroplanern und auch bei der Elektroinstallation nicht erreicht werden konnte. Zudem wird auch durch Ausfälle trotz vorhandener Überspannungsschutzgeräte das Vertrauen in diese Installation in Frage gestellt.These problems have led to a broad Acceptance of surge protective devices by the Electrical planners and also for electrical installation could not be reached. In addition, through Failures despite existing ones Surge protection devices trust in this Installation questioned.
Übliche Überspannungsschutzgeräte weisen zum Anschluß an elektrische Leitungen ein Gehäuseunterteil auf, welches beispielsweise auf Hutschienen oder dergleichen montiert werden kann, die in der Zentralverteilung einer Elektroanlage vorgesehen sind. Conventional surge protective devices point to Connection to electrical lines Lower housing part, which, for example DIN rails or the like can be mounted that in the central distribution of an electrical system are provided.
Die Installation erfolgt dabei vorzugsweise nahe des gebäudeseitigen Eingangs der elektrischen Zuleitungen, damit das gesamte Netz des damit ausgestatteten Hauses geschützt werden kann. Die eigentlichen Überspannungsschutzelemente sind beispielsweise Varistoren oder auch Funkenstrecken, die beispielsweise in Form von steckbaren Elementen ausgebildet sind, so daß sie steckbar in das entsprechende Geräteunterteil eingesetzt werden können.The installation is preferably close of the building's entrance of the electrical Supply lines so that the entire network of it equipped house can be protected. The actual surge protection elements are for example varistors or spark gaps, for example in the form of pluggable elements are trained so that they can be plugged into the appropriate lower part of the device can be used can.
Zur Installation eines solchen Überspannungsschutzgerätes, welches beispielsweise die phasenführenden Leiter L1,L2,L3, sowie den Neutralleiter N und gegebenenfalls auch den PE-Leiter schützen sollen, ist bei den bekannten Ausbildungen an dem Geräteunterteil, welches beispielsweise U-förmig ausgebildet sein kann, im Bereich des einen Schenkels die Anordnung von Anschlußklemmen für Phasenleiter L1 bis L3 und den Neutralleiter vorgesehen. Am anderen Schenkel des Gehäuses, also auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite können beispielsweise Erdanschlüsse vorgesehen sein. Ein solches Gerät kann nicht in eine bestehende Installation, insbesondere in den Leitungsstrang eingeschleift werden, sondern aufgrund der schaltungstechnischen Anforderungen ist es erforderlich, eine Parallelanordnung vorzusehen, so daß beispielsweise von den phasenführenden Leitern des Installationssystems (L1 bis L3) Abzweigungen vorzusehen sind, die dann in einer von der üblichen Installation abweichenden Art und Weise an die entsprechenden Anschlüsse des Überspannungsschutzgerätes angeschlossen werden müssen.In order to install such a surge protection device, which, for example, is intended to protect the phase-conducting conductors L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , and the neutral conductor N and, if appropriate, also the PE conductor, the lower part of the known apparatus has a U-shaped design, for example can, in the region of one leg, the arrangement of terminals for phase conductors L 1 to L 3 and the neutral conductor is provided. For example, earth connections can be provided on the other leg of the housing, that is on the opposite side. Such a device cannot be looped into an existing installation, in particular into the wiring harness, but due to the circuitry requirements it is necessary to provide a parallel arrangement so that, for example, branches must be provided from the phase-conducting conductors of the installation system (L 1 to L 3 ), which then have to be connected to the corresponding connections of the surge protection device in a way that differs from the usual installation.
Desweiteren ist ein Anschluß an den Neutralleiter beziehungsweise an den PE-Leiter vorzusehen, die wiederum mit der Potential-Ausgleichsschiene, die geerdet ist, verbunden sind. Diese Installationsweise weicht von dem üblichen Installationsraster ab, wie dies beispielsweise bei sogenannten Fehlerstromschutzschaltern oder anderen in die Leitungen eingeschleiften Schaltern üblich ist.Furthermore there is a connection to the neutral conductor or to provide the PE conductor who again with the potential equalization rail, the is grounded, connected. This Installation method differs from the usual Installation grid from, such as at so-called residual current circuit breakers or others switches looped into the cables are common is.
Gerade aus dieser notwendigen Installation resultieren viele Fehler. Häufige Fehlerquellen bei der Installation von solchen Überspannungsschutzgeräten sind beispielsweise hohe Leitungslängen für die Verbindung zwischen den zu schützenden Leitern und den Überspannungsschutzgeräten. Auch die parallele Verlegung von ungeschützten und geschützten Leitungen ist möglich und damit eine Fehlerquelle. Im erstgenannten Fehlerfall würde bei zu hoher Leitungslänge zu viel Spannung an den Verbindungsleitungen abfallen, so daß kein korrekter Schutz erreicht wird. Im zweiten dargestellten Fehlerfall würde die parallele Verlegung von geschützten und ungeschützten Leitungen eine erhebliche Einkopplung von Überspannungen von den ungeschützten in die geschützten Leitungen zur Folge haben können. Auch der Anschluss an die Potential-Ausgleichsschiene ist häufig problematisch, da gerade dort zulässige Leitungslängen überschritten werden.Especially from this necessary installation result in many mistakes. Common sources of errors in the installation of such Surge protective devices are high, for example Cable lengths for the connection between the protective ladders and the Surge protection devices. Even the parallel one Laying unprotected and protected Cables are possible and therefore a source of errors. In the first case, the error would be too high Line length too much voltage on the Connection lines fall off, so that no correct protection is achieved. In the second illustrated fault case would be the parallel Laying protected and unprotected lines a significant coupling of overvoltages from the unprotected in the protected lines can have. Also the connection to the equipotential bonding bar is often problematic because permissible cable lengths there are exceeded.
Aus der EP 0 644 613 A ist ein gattungsgemäßes Überspannungsschutzgerät bekannt. Auch hierbei ist aber der Installationsaufwand erheblich und die verwechselungsfreie Zuordnung der Anschlüsse ist auch hierbei nicht ohne weiteres gewährleistet. Der Elektroinstallateur muss vielmehr erhebliche Sorgfalt aufbringen, um eine korrekte Verdrahtung vornehmen zu können.From EP 0 644 613 A is a generic Surge protection device known. Here too is the installation effort considerably and the confusion-free assignment of the connections is also not easily guaranteed here. The Rather, an electrician must take considerable care to ensure correct wiring can.
Aus der DE 298 22 203 U1 ist ein Einbaublock für einen Kabelanschlusskasten mit Eingangsklemmen zum Anschluss von Stromversorgungskabeln und mit Abgangsklemmen zum Anschluss von Verbraucherkabeln bekannt, wobei die Eingangsklemmen mit den Abgangsklemmen über Leiterschienen verbunden sind. Hierbei sind die Leiterschienen unter Bildung von elektrisch isolierenden Brückenbereichen zweiteilig ausgebildet, mit jeweils einer den Eingangsklemmen zugewandten Eingangsschiene und einer den Abgangsklemmen zugewandten Abgangsschiene, wobei die Eingangsschienen mit den Abgangsschienen in den Brückenbereichen mittels elektrisch leitender Brückenverbindungselemente verbindbar sind. DE 298 22 203 U1 is a mounting block for one Cable junction box with input terminals for connection of power supply cables and with outgoing terminals for Connection of consumer cables known, the Input terminals with the output terminals via Conductor rails are connected. Here are the Conductor rails with the formation of electrically insulating Bridge areas formed in two parts, each with an input rail facing the input terminals and a feeder rail facing the feeder terminals, the input rails with the outlet rails in the Bridge areas using electrically conductive Bridge connecting elements are connectable.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Überspannungsschutzgerät zu schaffen, welches in einfacher Weise und unter Anwendung einfachster Installationsregeln funktionstüchtig installiert werden kann.Based on this state of the art Invention based on the object To create surge protection device, which in simple way and using simplest Installation rules are installed properly can.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine weitere Leiterbrücke für den PE-Leiter parallel zu den anderen Leiterbrücken angeordnet ist, die endseitig eine entsprechende erste und zweite Anschlussklemme aufweist, däss im Bereich des Installationsplatzes der Leiterbrücke für den Neutralleiter ein Anschluss für den Neutralleiteranschluss des Überspannungsschutzelementes vorgesehen ist, der mit der Neutralleiterverbindungsbrücke kontaktiert ist, sowie ein weiterer Anschluss für das Überspannungsschutzelement, der mit einer Verbindungsbrücke kontaktiert ist, die isoliert zum Neutralleiter angeordnet ist und mit der PE-Leiterbrücke elektrisch verbunden ist.To solve this problem, it is proposed that a additional conductor bridge for the PE conductor parallel to the other conductor bridges is arranged, the end a corresponding first and second connection terminal has, that in the area of the installation site Conductor bridge for the neutral conductor a connection for the neutral conductor connection of the Overvoltage protection element is provided with the neutral conductor connecting bridge is contacted, as well as another connection for the Surge protection element that with a Connection bridge is contacted, which is isolated to Neutral conductor is arranged and with the PE conductor bridge is electrically connected.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung ist es möglich, die Installation des Überspannungsschutzgerätes in einfacher Weise derart vorzunehmen, dass praktisch ein Durchschleifen der ankommenden und weiterführenden Leitungen ermöglicht ist. Das Überspannungsschutzgerät kann in einfacher Weise angeschlossen werden, indem die einzelnen Leiter (L1,L2,L3), Neutralleiter und PE-Leiter parallel zueinander zugeführt werden und mit den an der einen Gehäuseseite befindlichen Anschlüssen verbunden werden, wobei die abgehenden Leitungen praktisch koaxial zu diesen eingehenden Anschlüssen an der anderen Gehäuseseite angeschlossen werden können. Durch die Leiterbrücken der Phasenleiter und gegebenenfalls auch der Neutralleiter und PE-Leiter ist die ordnungsgemäße und einfache Verdrahtung gewährleistet, wobei zudem Überlängen oder Schleifenbildungen vermieden sind. Dadurch, daß einerseits an den Eingängen jeder Leiterbrücke Anschlußkontakte für den jeweiligen Phasenanschluß des einzusetzenden Überspannungselementes vorgesehen sind und an dem anderen Kontaktbereich des Überspannungsschutzelementes die Neutralleiter-Verbindungsbrücke vorgesehen ist, ist die elektrische korrekte Verdrahtung beziehungsweise Verbindung zwischen den bestimmungsgemäß eingesetzten Überspannungsschutzelementen und dem Netz gewährleistet. Dabei kann gegebenenfalls auch eine weitere Leiterbrücke für den PE-Leiter vorgesehen sein, die nur mit der Leiterbrücke des Neutralleiters elektrisch verbunden ist, so daß in die entsprechenden Anschlußkontakte des Neutralleiters ein entsprechendes Überspannungsschutzelement, beispielsweise ein Gasableiter, eingesetzt werden kann, der zwangsläufig korrekt installiert ist. Das Überspannungsschutzgerät ist in einer solchen Weise in die elektrische Leitung zu integrieren, die den Installationsgewohnheiten von Elektroinstallateu:ren entspricht. Üblicherweise wird eine Verteilung von unten nach oben verdrahtet, wobei die einzelnen Leitungsadern parallel zueinander verlaufen. Eine solche Installationsrichtung ist mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Überspannungsschutzgerät in einfacher Weise zu realisieren, da das Gerät quasi unten Eingänge und oben Ausgänge aufweist, die an die entsprechenden Leiter angeschlossen werden können. Es wird hierdurch zudem eine räumliche Trennung der Leitungen fast zwingend erreicht und auch die parallele Verlegung von geschützten und ungeschützten Leitungen sehr erschwert, wenn nicht gar ausgeschlossen. Auch das Problem von die Installation nachteilig beeinflussenden Leitungslängen ist vermieden, da alle zu schützenden Leitungen an dem Überspannungsschutzgerät zusammengeführt werden und dort unter Verwendung von kürzesten Leitungslängen korrekt verschaltet sind. Die Installation und Zusammenstellung von Überspannungsschutzgeräten wird dadurch erheblich erleichtert, da eine komplette Installationslösung integral in dem Gerät aufgebaut ist. Bei einer entsprechenden Auslegung des Gerätes kann das Gerät für alle Netzformen eingesetzt werden, so daß es vom Installateur keine Kenntnis über die Netzform verlangt. The configuration according to the invention makes it possible to carry out the installation of the overvoltage protection device in a simple manner in such a way that it is practically possible to loop through the incoming and outgoing lines. The overvoltage protection device can be connected in a simple manner by the individual conductors (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 ), neutral conductor and PE conductor being fed in parallel to one another and connected to the connections on one side of the housing, the outgoing lines being practical can be connected coaxially to these incoming connections on the other side of the housing. The conductor bridges of the phase conductors and possibly also the neutral conductor and PE conductor ensure correct and simple wiring, with excess lengths or loops also being avoided. Characterized in that on the one hand connection contacts are provided for the respective phase connection of the overvoltage element to be used at the inputs of each conductor bridge and the neutral conductor connection bridge is provided on the other contact area of the overvoltage protection element, the electrical correct wiring or connection between the intended overvoltage protection elements and the network is ensured. If necessary, a further conductor bridge for the PE conductor can also be provided, which is only electrically connected to the conductor bridge of the neutral conductor, so that a corresponding overvoltage protection element, for example a gas arrester, can be used in the corresponding connection contacts of the neutral conductor, which inevitably installs correctly is. The surge protective device must be integrated into the electrical line in such a way that it corresponds to the installation habits of electrical installers. A distribution is usually wired from bottom to top, with the individual line wires running parallel to each other. Such an installation direction can be implemented in a simple manner with the surge protection device according to the invention, since the device has inputs at the bottom and outputs at the top, which can be connected to the corresponding conductors. This also almost spatially separates the lines and also makes the parallel laying of protected and unprotected lines very difficult, if not impossible. The problem of cable lengths which adversely affect the installation is also avoided, since all the cables to be protected are brought together on the surge protection device and are correctly connected there using the shortest cable lengths. The installation and assembly of surge protective devices is made considerably easier as a complete installation solution is built integrally in the device. With a suitable design of the device, the device can be used for all network types, so that it does not require the installer to know about the network type.
Wie schon ausgeführt, ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Gerät die Installation entsprechend den Installationsgewohnheiten des Elektrohandwerks, da der Installateur ähnliche Installationsarten beispielsweise bei der Montage von Fehlerstromschutzschaltern gewöhnt ist. Auch dort werden die unteren Klemmen als Eingang benutzt und die oberen Klemmen bilden die Abgänge. Die verbleibenden Installationsvorschriften bestehen nur insoweit, als das Überspannungsschutzgerät immer direkt am Eingang der Installation montiert werden muß und keine weiteren Verbindungen zwischen den geschützten und ungeschützten Leitungen vorgenommen werden dürfen.As already stated, this enables device according to the invention the installation according to the installation habits of the Electrical trades as the installer is similar Types of installation, for example, during assembly is used to residual current circuit breakers. Also there the lower terminals are used as an input and the upper terminals form the outlets. The remaining installation instructions exist only to the extent that the surge protective device always mounted directly at the entrance to the installation must be and no further connections between the protected and unprotected lines may be made.

Im Bereich eines jeden Installationsplatzes für einen
Überspannungsableiter 2 ist eine durchgehende
Leiterbrücke 3L1 , 3L2, 3L3, 3PE, 3N vorgesehen. Die in
der Zeichnungsfigur 1 links dargestellte durchgehende
Leiterbrücke 3L1 verbindet den unten liegenden Eingang
L1 mit dem oben liegenden Abgang L1'. Die daneben
befindliche, dazu parallel angeordnete Leiterbrücke 3L2
verbindet den Eingang L2 mit dem Ausgang L2' . Die
wiederum daneben befindliche weitere Leiterbrücke 3L3
verbindet den unten liegenden Eingang L3 mit dem oben
liegenden Abgang L3'. Die nächste Leiterbrücke 3N
verbindet den unten liegenden Eingang N mit dem oben
liegenden Abgang N'. Die nächste Leiterbrücke 3PE
verbindet wiederum den unten liegenden Eingang PE mit
dem oben liegenden Abgang PE'. Beispielsweise durch
Kunststoffisolierelemente isoliert zu den Leiterbrücken
3L1 , 3L2, 3L3, 3N ist eine quer zu diesen angeordnete
Neutralleiter-Verbindungsbrücke 4 am in
Installationsrichtung gemäß Figur 1 oberen Endbereich
der Leiterbrücken 3L1 , 3L2, 3L3, 3N vorgesehen, und zwar
im Bereich jeweils der Installationsplätze mit einem
Steckanschluss für den Neutralleiter-Anschluss des
Überspannungsschutzelementes. Diese Verbindungsbrücke 4
ist nicht mit den phasenführenden Leiterbrücken 3L1 ,
3L2, 3L3 der Leiter L1 bis L3 elektrisch verbunden,
sondern sie ist gegenüber diesen elektrisch isoliert
und sie liegt elektrisch leitend an der Leiterbrücke 3N
des Neutralleiters N auf. Im in Zeichnungsfigur 1
befindlichen Bereich ist oberhalb jeder Leiterbrücke
3L1 , 3L2, 3L3 für die Phasenleiter L1 bis L3 ein
Anschlusselement vorgesehen, mittels dessen der
Phasenanschluss des jeweiligen Überspannungsableiters 2
mit der darunter befindlichen Brücke steckverbindbar

Verbindungsbrücke 6 mit dem Anschlussbereich des
Überspannungsschutzelementes oberhalb der Leiterbrücke
des Neutralleiters N verbunden, wobei diese Verbindung
gegenüber der Leiterbrücke 3N des Neutralleiters
isoliert ist. Die Verbindungsbrücke 6 ist aber mit der
Leiterbrücke 3PE des PE-Leiters elektrisch leitend
verbunden, d.h. kann beispielsweise auf diese
kontaktierend aufgelegt sein. Bei gesteckten
Überspannungsableitern ist jeweils eine elektrische
Verbindung zwischen dem Eingangsanschluss L1E, L2E, L3E
und PEE einerseits und dem zugehörigen Neutralleiter-Anschluss
NA hergestellt. Die ordnungsgemäße
Verschaltung ist damit gewährleistet, wobei zudem durch
die entsprechenden oben und unten liegenden Abgänge und
Eingänge der Leitungen eine einfache und lagerichtige
Installation gewährleistet ist. Wie insbesondere aus
Figur 4 bis 6 ersichtlich, ist das Gehäuseunterteil im
Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet. Dabei ist in der
Basis der U-Form parallel zueinander und voneinander
elektrisch isoliert in einer ersten unteren Ebene die

Ebene liegt, die von den Leiterbrücken 3L1 , 3L2, 3L3, 3N
aufgespannt ist; wobei zwischen den Leiterbrücken und
der Neutralleiter-Verbindungsbrücke 4 eine elektrische
Isolierung vorgesehen ist. Auch die Leiterbrücken 3L1 ,
3L2, 3L3, 3PE, 3N sind jeweils mit Abstand nebeneinander
angeordnet und voneinander isoliert. Lediglich im
Kreuzungsbereich der Leiterbrücke 3N, die den
Neutralleiteranschluss N bildet, ist die Neutralleiter-Verbindungsbrücke
4 kontaktierend auf die entsprechende
Brücke 3N aufgelegt, so dass die gewünschte elektrische
Verbindung zwischen der Brücke 4 und der Brücke 3N des
N-Leiters hergestellt ist. Nahe des anderen Schenkels
des Unterteils 1 ist in der zweiten Ebene im Bereich
eines jeden Installationsplatzes eines
Überspannungsschutzelementes 2 für die Phasenleiter L1
bis L3 jeweils ein beispielsweise plattenförmiges
Anschlusselement vorgesehen; welches
Steckverbindungsmittel als Steckverbindung des
entsprechenden Überspannungsleiters aufweist. Die
einzelnen Elemente L1E, L2E, L3E sind nebeneinander
angeordnet und gegeneinander isoliert und jeweils nur
mit der darunter befindlichen Leiterbrücke 3L1 , 3L2, 3L3
kontaktierend verbunden. Im Bereich des Neutralleiters
N und des PE-Leiters ist die Brücke 6 angeordnet, die
kontaktierend auf dem PE-Leiter aufliegt und gegenüber
dem Neutralleiter N (der entsprechenden Leiterbrücke
3N) isoliert ist. Auch diese Brücke ist wiederum
beispielsweise durch einen Blechstreifen gebildet.The neutral

Schutzelement mit Anschlusssteckkontakten 7 elektrisch
verbunden ist, die wiederum in die entsprechenden
Anschlusselemente einsteckbar sind, die oberhalb der
Leiterbrücken 3L1 , 3L2, 3L3, 3PE, 3N ausgebildet oder
angeordnet sind. Zusätzlich kann in einem
entsprechenden Freiraum des Unterteils 1, der oberhalb
der Leiterbrücke 3PE des PE-Leiters ausgebildet ist,
ein Element zur Fernsignalisierung eingesetzt werden,
das in an sich bekannter Weise signalisiert, wenn ein
Überspannungsableiter ausgefallen oder beansprucht ist.Each
