Definitions

  • the invention relates to an encapsulated surge arrester according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Multi-pole surge arresters which are resistant to surge current up to 100 kA and which contain a plurality of encapsulated spark gaps in a housing, but not in a 3 + 1 circuit, are known.
  • N-PE spark gaps are used to protect against overvoltages between the N and PE conductors.
  • spark gaps must have a very high surge current capability up to 100 kA 10/350 ⁇ s, in particular for protection against direct lightning strike.
  • Encapsulated spark gaps with such a performance are for example from DE 196 04 947 C1 .
  • These spark gaps have a protection level of ⁇ 2.5kV.
  • spark gaps with lower protection levels are required.
  • the use of trigger circuits is expedient.
  • Powerful N-PE spark gaps which also have an additional effective trigger electrode with consistently high performance, are not yet available.
  • the high current load, the associated high material erosion, the high dynamic loads due to current forces, pressure, energy and temperature make significant design demands with encapsulated arresters.
  • an overvoltage protection device which has coaxial main electrodes which are triggerable.
  • the connection of the electrodes takes place from the same side in order to effect a directed movement of the arc to a baffle plate within the spark gap.
  • the DE-AS 12 82 153 presents a spark gap that has a so-called expansion and a reflection space.
  • the reflection space is intended by the pressure generated during the arc ignition, the arc specifically press into the expansion chamber, on the one hand to protect the ignition from excessive burn and on the other hand to extend the arc, so that the quenching behavior of the spark gap is improved.
  • the surge arrester should meet the essential requirements, namely a high insulation capacity and a very high Stoßstromableitrac and it should be possible to perform triggerable with the help of a third electrode the surge arrester.
  • a coaxial construction is based at least partially on overlapping metallic main electrodes which have oppositely directed connections.
  • the main electrodes in conjunction with at least one insulating part, form an arc combustion chamber.
  • Such a surge arrester is for example out GB-A-2 203 286 known.
  • At least one of the main electrodes has an inner expansion space and is in the region of the insulating part a preferably provided radially or axially rotationally symmetrical trigger electrode.
  • the first main electrode is formed as a rod electrode with a cavity, which communicates via openings with the arc space on the flow side.
  • the rod electrode is centered and held with its connection remote end via a further insulating part within the surrounding second main electrode.
  • the expansion spaces may have a minimized pressure equalization opening, which is preferably formed in the region of the terminals.
  • the second isolation part has return flow channels to the expansion space of the second main electrode.
  • Both expansion spaces can be connected on the flow side by at least one insulating channel.
  • a respective response voltage can be specifically predefined.
  • At least one of the electrodes has an arc-facing landing or step for staggered response and safe fire-extinguishing capability even in the event of triggering failure.
  • the main electrodes may have groove-shaped contours, webs and / or cams for minimizing burnup on their surface facing the arc combustion chamber.
  • the second main electrode surrounding the first main electrode may constitute a substantial part of the encapsulation.
  • the first and / or second insulating part may have at least one circumferential web for supporting air punctures.
  • a quenching gas filling is preferably provided.
  • Fig. 1 a sectional view through a surge arrester with coaxial electrode structure
  • Fig. 2 a similar representation as in Fig. 1 disclosed, but with a gradation of an inner side of the second main electrode to provide a staggered response;
  • Fig. 3 a sectional view of a surge arrester with stepped version of the second main electrode for reducing the distance in the entire arc combustion chamber and with an additional radial isolation path to reduce the burn-off, in particular the trigger electrode;
  • Fig. 4 a sectional view of a surge arrester with a trigger electrode, which is arranged adjacent to the second main electrode in the axial direction.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 assume a first main electrode 41 and a second main electrode 42, wherein the electrodes in the regions 45 have an electrical connection.
  • This connection can be realized for example by means of a screw connection.
  • the first main electrode is preferably designed as a rod electrode, which has a cavity 47 in the interior. This cavity 47 represents an inner expansion space.
  • the cavity 47 is connected to the arc combustion chamber 48 through at least one opening 49.
  • the first main electrode 41 projects partially into the tubular-shaped region of the second main electrode 42 in a coaxial arrangement. Specifically, this overlap area represents the desired coaxial structure.
  • an insulation part 44 between the first main electrode 41 and the second main electrode 42. This insulating part 44 then delimits the arc combustion chamber 48 simultaneously in the axial direction.
  • the insulating member 44 has suitable openings or flow channels 410, so that an additional cavity 47 within the second main electrode 42 is in communication with the arc combustion chamber 48.
  • a (first) insulating member 43 is disposed between the first main electrode 41 and the open end of the main electrode 42.
  • the insulation part 43 now has an additional third electrode 46 for triggering the main line between the first and second main electrodes.
  • This electrode or a plurality of electrodes 46 may be arranged rod-shaped, pin-shaped, but also annular.
  • a disk electrode is used which is coaxial with the first and second main electrodes is aligned.
  • the described spark gap is pressed or screwed with additional insulation in a pressure-resistant metal housing.
  • the force is applied in the direction of the axis of symmetry.
  • these parts extend in the radial direction from the axis of symmetry. In this way it is ensured that an influence on the operating voltage of the spark gap remains low both by the joining process and under thermal stress of the pressurized insulating parts.
  • one or more sparks 411 are fired from the trigger electrode 46 to one or both of the main electrodes 41 and / or 42.
  • the arc 100 ignites between the main electrodes 41 and 42.
  • the arc 100 is formed via a sliding discharge along the insulation paths 43 or 44 or by an air breakdown between the main electrodes 41 and 42nd
  • the arc 100 is in the arc combustion chamber 48 after ignition and can rotate around the first main electrode 41 in accordance with the coaxial arrangement within this space.
  • an overpressure due to the heating of the existing gases This overpressure would lead to increased mechanical stress on the parts and also increase the arc voltage, resulting in an unnecessarily high energy conversion within the spark gap and thus also to high thermal loads.
  • the expanding gas provided at least one additional cavity 47 as an expansion space, which is not directly exposed to the arc. After ignition of the arc, the heated gas can flow through the aforementioned openings or channels 49 and 410 in the expansion chamber 47. Due to the large volume there, the large heat capacity and the large surface area of the metal electrodes, the heated gas within these cavities is immediately cooled and relaxed.
  • Fig. 1 assumes an embodiment of separate expansion chambers 47, but it is also possible to connect the two chambers along the axis of symmetry by one or more channels which are insulated.
  • the arrangement shown can additionally have minimum pressure equalization openings, which provide pressure compensation with the environment after the decay of the pressure-side load. This is particularly advantageous when it comes to the decomposition of the materials used and thus the eventual additional gas formation within the spark gap by the action of the arc. Due to the location and the size of the pressure compensation openings, a rapid pressure equalization in the millisecond range or a slow pressure reduction in the range over minutes can take place.
  • Fig. 1 requires due to the positioning of the electrodes 41, 42 and 46 after the formation of the spark between the electrode 42 and 46, which only covers a portion of the overall arrangement, still a significant energy input until the entire separation distance between the electrodes 41 and 42 is ionized and therefore a flashover between the main electrodes can take place.
  • the possibility of tuning this energy requirement advantageously allows easy coordination of the N-PE arrester downstream protective devices.
  • triggerable arresters with a high requirement for trigger energy can thus be created, as a result of which a response of the main spark gap of the arrester only takes place in the case of high-energy surges.
  • the insulation member 44 is shortened by a step or step 412 in the electrode 42. This causes, in addition to the triggerable spark gap, a further independent spark gap with triggering independent response, which is significantly smaller than the response voltage of the sliding or air gap between the first and second main electrode 41 and 42 in the triggering available stands.
  • the possibility of a staggered response of the spark gap at different voltage slopes allows a decoupling of the behavior of the spark gap just at these different slopes of the voltage.
  • the spark gap is controlled by the trigger circuit and the corresponding trigger path.
  • an overhead ignition of the spark gap can be obtained, especially at high voltage gradients, which is characterized in that the trigger unit of the spark gap itself remains uninvolved. The spark gap ignites then, so to speak, automatically in the area grading 412 without stressing the trigger unit.
  • Fig. 3 shows a similar arrangement as Fig. 2
  • the paragraph or the gradation is extended so that there is a significant reduction in space in the entire arc combustion chamber 48 between the first and second main electrode 41/42.
  • An additional axial isolation path 413 also reduces the burnup on the insulation part 43 and the trigger electrode 46, since direct contact between these parts and the arc 100 can be avoided.
  • this isolation path 413 can also independently of paragraph 412 as in an embodiment of Fig. 1 be provided.
  • This arrangement ensures both the protection of the trigger electrode against excessive burnup and a reduction of the response voltage without triggering. Furthermore, with this arrangement, the required trigger energy can be reduced to a minimum.
  • the ignition spark generated in response of the trigger circuit between the trigger electrode 46 and the second main electrode 42 can, in particular with a minimum in the combustion chamber 48 protruding insulation part 414 and a smaller distance of the Main electrodes 41 and 42 already touch the first main electrode 41 when it is formed. As a result, the insulation gap between the main electrodes 41 and 42 is bridged abruptly and the trigger energy is kept to a minimum.
  • a partial isolation of the main electrode 41 within the combustion chamber 48 along the axis of symmetry and adjacent to the insulating members 43 and 44 for protection against Abbranderscheinept to the respective insulating parts or at the trigger electrode may be useful.
  • one or more circumferential contours e.g. be formed or introduced as grooves or patch webs.
  • individual patch knobs or other elevations for controlling the response voltage in the event of air blows or for controlling the burn-up behavior can be realized.
  • the insulating parts 43 and 44 may additionally be provided with at least one circumferential web (not shown) projecting into the combustion chamber 48.
