Definitions

  • the spring arm has a length that extends or exceeds about the entire length of the surge arrester.
  • a good spring action can be achieved with a thick metal strip as a spring arm.
  • the contact pressure of the spring arm on the short-circuited electrode is sufficiently large enough to guarantee a secure electrical connection between the spring arm and the electrode of the surge arrester in case of such executed short-circuit device with a spring arm of a thick metal strip, if there are still remnants of a fusible element between the spring arm and the electrode.
  • the spring arms each have at least one free end. Furthermore, the spring arms each have a further end with the web, which is connected to the base element of the short-circuiting device. In one embodiment, the web is disposed between the further end of the spring arm and the base member at a portion of the base member.
  • the base member has a strip-like shape.
  • each spring arm is spaced in the region of its free end by means of an element of easily fusible material from at least one electrode of the surge arrester.
  • the fusible material element comprises an electrically insulating material, such as a polymer.
  • the element of fusible material comprises an electrically conductive material, such as a soft solder.
  • the first spring arm 6 extends over all three electrodes and is spaced from the electrodes 2, 3, 4 of the surge arrester 1, wherein the first spring arm 6 is biased at its free end 9 in the direction of the second electrode 3. Between the first spring arm 6 and the second electrode 3, an element 11 of fusible material is arranged, which in the FIG. 1 is covered by the spring arm 6.
  • the element 11 comprises in the in FIG. 1 embodiment shown, preferably an electrically insulating material, such as a fusible polymer.
  • FIG. 3 shows the fault of the short-circuiting device, in which an excessively high heating of the surge arrester 1 has the elements 11 between the spring arms 6, 7 and the sub-areas 12, 13 of the base member 5 has caused to melt, so that over the ends 9, 10 of the spring arms 6, 7 and the base element 5, a short circuit between the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 and the third electrode 4 of the surge arrester 1 is present.
  • the FIG. 4 schematically shows a planar development of the short-circuit device according to FIG. 3 ,
  • the dashed lines represent edges at which the punched raw form is bent, so that the in FIG. 3 illustrated shape of the short-circuiting device is formed.
  • the short-circuit device has a central base element 5, from which two spring arms 6, 7 extend in opposite directions parallel to the base element 5. In the region of the free ends 9, 10 of the spring arms 6, 7, subregions 12, 13 of the base element 5 are arranged, which are aligned perpendicular to the base element 5.
  • execution corresponds approximately to the blank punched out of a sheet of the short-circuiting device.
  • the outline of the settlement corresponds approximately to a quadrangle, wherein the corner regions are chamfered.
  • the holes 16, 17 serve to connect the portions 12 and 13 with the spring arms 9 and 10 by means of the element 11th
  • the first spring arm 6 is in the regular operating state preferably spaced from the electrodes 2, 3, 4 of the surge arrester 1, wherein the first spring arm 6 is biased at its free end 9 in the direction of the third electrode 4.
  • an element 11 is disposed of fusible material.
  • the element 11 comprises in the in FIG. 5 illustrated embodiment, for example, a soft solder.
  • an element 11 is disposed of fusible material.
  • FIG. 5 shows the state of the short-circuiting device in case of failure, in which an excessively high heating of the surge arrester 1, the element 11 between the spring arms 6, 7 and the sub-areas 12, 13 of the base elements 5, 8 has brought to melt, so that via the spring arms 6, 7 and the base elements 5, 8 present a short circuit between the first 2 and the second 3 or third 4 electrode of the surge arrester 1.
  • the edges may be formed by depressions of the starting material, so that an easier processing of the short-circuiting device can be carried out during subsequent deformation.
  • the short-circuiting device comprises a plurality of base elements, which are arranged for example between a plurality of spring arms.
