Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of surge arrester according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a modular arrester system as well as a method for producing the surge arrester.
  • EP-A-0 642 1 41 discloses a surge arrester.
  • This known surge arrester has an active part for dissipating overvoltage, since it consists in particular of varistor blocks.
  • the active part or the varistor blocks are used in a prefabricated frame made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide.
  • the known frame has laterally frame openings through which the insertion of the diverting elements takes place in the frame.
  • the varistor blocks and the electrodes are firmly clamped by means of a highly electrically conductive clamping device within the frame, whereby on the one hand the Varistorblöcke or the active part is held firmly in the frame and on the other a necessary contact pressure for contacting the varistor blocks are constructed with one another and / or for contacting the varistor block with one of the electrodes.
  • the clamping device which typically has a threaded pin guided in a screw, forms in EP-A-0 642 141 at the same time in each case a connection electrode or a connection fitting or parts thereof for the surge arrester.
  • the contactor of the varistor block is displaceable relative to the frame in such a way that the electrode, initially spaced from the varistor block, can be brought into contact with the varistor block and pressurized by turning the threaded pin.
  • the frame with the varistor blocks inserted therein is completely enveloped by a jacket with shields.
  • the coat with the umbrellas is also called weatherproof housing.
  • a gap is formed between the frame and the varistor block. This gap is ideally filled by a silicone compound of the weatherproof housing. Due to the thermal stress during operation of the surge arrester and the permeability of silicone to water vapor can accumulate water in particular in this gap. Such accumulations of water favor a failure of the surge arrester.
  • connection fittings which in turn are connected by means of loops.
  • a contact electrode for contacting the varistor and the Varistorblocks is braced against each other. This also builds up the necessary contact pressure between the varistor blocks with each other and between the contact electrodes and the varistor blocks applied thereto.
  • Each of the loops is made of wound glass fiber reinforced tapes embedded in a plastic matrix.
  • the diverting elements and the loops are complete and the connection fittings are at least partially enclosed by a shielded cast housing made of insulating material, which forms a weatherproof housing.
  • the clamping device is formed by an insulating tube into which one of the fittings is screwed end. Between the valves, in turn, a discharge element is arranged. By screwing the valve into the insulating tube, the fittings, the insulating tube and the diverter are firmly braced against each other. Further, this document shows that the insulating tube is preferably made of a thermoplastic polymer and a filler incorporated therein, such as glass fibers.
  • the insulating tube is the end with lids of insulating material after mounting the diverter and the fittings in Insulating tube closed.
  • the same insulating material is used for the lid and the closure is preferably done by means of ultrasound.
  • a surge arrester is known in which the diverting elements, heat absorbing elements and connection fittings are inserted into a prefabricated polyethylene tube. After inserting the diverting elements, heat-absorbing elements and connection fittings, the tube is shrunk in such a way that the diverting elements, heat-absorbing elements and connection fittings are pressed firmly against one another.
  • EP-A-0 393 854 discloses a gas discharge opening in the case of an error, in order to prevent it from bursting apart in the event of a fault.
  • a first reinforcing strip known from WO 97/32382 has reinforcement strips in the axial direction of the surge absorber, which reinforcement strips are embedded in a plastic matrix.
  • a second surge arrester likewise disclosed in WO 97/32382, has a connecting element made of an insulating material, which holds electrodes and varistor blocks together.
  • the connecting element has a base layer of a resin material.
  • the connecting element on one or more outer layers, which are also made of resin material. In the resin material of the outer layers, relatively short fiber bundles are mixed.
  • Overvoltage arresters which may be used in medium and high voltage networks, must comply with, inter alia, the IEC 60099 standard.
  • the problem is that of overflowing the diverting element, that is, if the active part with the varistor has absorbed too much energy as a result of too high a temporary overvoltage or too high a line discharge , gas formation can occur within the active part. If the gas can not escape from the surge arrester, this leads to an explosion of the surge arrester. This poses a risk to the plant itself, in which the Matternapssabieiter is located, as well as for people who are employed in the immediate vicinity of the surge arrester.
  • this object is achieved by a surge arrester having the features of claim 1, by a modular arrester system having the features of claim 21 and the method of manufacturing a surge arrester according to claims 22 and 23.
  • the surge arrester according to the invention has an active part and two electrodes resting against the active part and a connecting element made of an insulating material, in which the active part and the electrodes are arranged.
  • the connecting element disappears during its production.
  • the shrinkage of the connecting element during cooling and / or curing, the electrodes are pressed firmly against the active part, whereby a good electrical contact between the respective electrode and the active part is made.
  • it can be ensured by the shrinkage, that the connecting element is applied directly to the active part, whereby between the connecting element and active part no impurities such as water can penetrate during operation of the surge arrester. This increases the reliability of the surge arrester.
  • the connecting element bears radially directly on the active part, whereby the mechanical properties of the surge arrester are improved over the prior art, in particular with respect to shear forces.
  • the small number of items allows a very cost-effective production.
  • the design of the connecting element can be optimized for strength, the manufacture of which no further elements are to be introduced into the connecting element, as is partially the case in the prior art, see, for example, EP-A-0 642 141. Consequently, the mechanical strength of the connecting element can be optimized and the cost of materials for the connecting element can be minimized. Consequently, costs can be reduced while complying with the relevant safety requirements and standards. Furthermore, the surge absorber according to the invention is easier to manufacture, since no special clamping elements such as screws and setscrews - as known in the art - are necessary for the production of the contact pressure between the electrodes and the active part.
  • the connecting element is formed by direct potting around the electrodes and the active part around.
  • the direct potting allows the connecting element to be directly adjacent, without gaps, around the active part. This means that no cavities occur in particular in the radial direction between the active part and the connecting element.
  • the surge arrester has particularly favorable electrical properties, in particular, as a result, no moisture or water can accumulate between the active part and the connecting element during the operating period of the surge arrester.
  • the connecting element has a homogeneous structure and a homogeneous material structure. This construction of the connecting element allows its complete production by means of an injection molding process. Consequently, the surge arrester according to claim 3 can be manufactured extremely cost-effectively, since this can be manufactured largely fully automatically.
  • the surge arrester has no reinforcement connecting the electrodes to one another.
  • the insertion of a reinforcement would force a further manufacturing step before injecting or introducing the material into the mold for the production of the connecting element.
  • This additional manufacturing step is extremely bad - if anything - automatable. Consequently, as a result of the omission of reinforcements, the surge arrester can be manufactured much more cost-effectively than in the prior art.
  • the connecting element surrounds the active part and the electrodes both radially and axially with respect to the axis.

  • FIG. An overvoltage arrester 10 essentially has the following elements: an active part 12, two electrodes 14, 16 and a connecting element 18 connecting the active part 12 and the electrodes 14, 16 to one another and made of an insulating material.
  • the active part 12 has at least one with respect to the current-voltage ratio nonlinear resistance, in particular a non-linear resistor based on zinc oxide (ZnO). Such non-linear resistors are also referred to as varistors.
  • the active part 12 has essentially the shape of a straight circular cylinder with axis A, wherein each of the two end faces of the circular cylinder is designed as a contact surface 13 for electrically contacting the active part 12 by means of one of the two electrodes 14, 16.
  • Other forms for the active part 12 are in principle also possible, in particular a hollow cylindrical shape.

  • the surge arrester 10 fulfills the standard IEC 60099.
  • the surge arrester 10 has at least a rated voltage of 1 kV (one kilovolt). I follow blocks the active part 12, if a voltage lower than the nominal voltage applied to the active part 12. At a voltage greater than the nominal voltage, the active part 12 is conductive. Consequently, voltages which are greater than the nominal voltage, which are also referred to as overvoltages, are derived from the overvoltage absorber 10.
  • the first electrode 14 of the two electrodes 14, 16 In the direction of the axis A is on one side of the active part 12, the first electrode 14 of the two electrodes 14, 16 to the active part 12 at. At the first electrode 14 opposite side of the active part 12, the second electrode 16 is located on the Discharge element 12 at. Consequently, in the direction of the axis A on one side of the active part 12, the first electrode and on the other side, the second electrode 16 is arranged, wherein the second electrode 16 in the direction of the axis A with respect to the active part 12 of the first electrode 14 opposite.
  • the electrodes 14, 16 are additionally attached to the active part 12 with an electrically conductive adhesive.
  • the two electrodes 14, 16 - the first electrode 14 and the second electrode 16 - each have a contact surface, which is intended to abut the respective contact surface 13 of the active part 12.
  • the two electrodes 14, 16 each have a connecting and contacting region 17.
  • the connecting element 18 is injected, for example, in an injection molding process around the active part 12 and around the two electrodes 14, 16. This method is an example of a direct potting. Consequently, the connecting element 18 encloses the active part 12 and the two electrodes 14, 16. In particular, the connecting element 18 bears radially with respect to the axis A directly to the active part 12. Due to the fact that the connecting element 18 contracts on shrinkage and / or hardening in the direction of the axis A by shrinkage, each of the two electrodes 14, 16 with respect to the active part 12 is subjected to a pressure, so that between each of the two electrodes 14, 16 and Active part 12 a good electrical connection is made.
  • the connecting element 18 by encapsulation of the active part 12 and the two electrodes 14, 16, an internal stress in the connecting element 18 can be constructed, which clamps the electrodes 14, 16 and the active part 12 against each other. Consequently, the connecting element 18 presses the two electrodes 14, 16 in the direction of the axis A to the active part, wherein the voltage in the connecting element 18 for pressing the electrodes 14,16 to the active part 12 is established by the manufacturing process.
  • the connecting element 18 by encapsulation of the active part and the two electrodes 14, 16, consequently, in contrast to the prior art to a separate element or device for building up the mechanical tension for clamping the active part 12 with the electrodes 14, 16 be waived.
  • Next can be dispensed with a special, necessary to build up this voltage step.
  • the first electrode 14 as well as the second electrode 16 with respect to the connecting element 18 is arranged stationary.
  • the connecting element 18 By the production of the connecting element 18 by injection molding and by the production of the connecting element 18 by encapsulation of the active part 12 and the two electrodes 14, 16, it is possible to form the connecting element 18 with particularly favorable mechanical properties at low cost of materials. Further, thanks to the extremely simple construction of the surge arrester 10 made of active part 12, electrodes 14, 16 and connecting element 18, the manufacturing process can be largely automated, whereby the reduction of the manufacturing costs can be achieved. The automation of the manufacturing process is made possible in particular by the fact that a separate element or device for building up the voltage for clamping the active part 12 with the electrodes 14, 16 is dispensed with. Next can be dispensed with a special step for building up the voltage, since the mechanical tension of active part 12 and the two electrodes 14, 16 takes place by the cooling and / or curing of the connecting element 18.
  • the connecting element 18 has passage openings 30 in a region adjacent to a jacket region of the active part 12, that is to say in the direction of the axis A between the two electrodes 14, 16. These through-holes 30 serve to dissipate a gas which forms at most in the event of a fault of the active part 12 in the interior of the connecting element, without the connecting element 18 being destroyed in an explosive manner. Through the passage openings 30 in particular an explosive destruction of the surge arrester 10 is prevented in the event of a fault.

Further, the through holes 30 are formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the axis A to each other on the connecting element 18.

The manufacturing process makes it possible for the connecting element 18 with this structure to be produced in one piece or to be able to be manufactured in one piece.
  • the cage-like structure is characterized in particular in that the active part 1 2 can not escape through the passage openings 30. As a result, ejection of the active part 12 or parts or large fractions thereof out of the connecting element 18 can be prevented in an advantageous manner.
  • the cage-like structure thus contributes directly to safety in the event of a fault. If the active part 12 is overloaded in the event of a fault due to excessive overvoltage, this can lead to gas formation and / or fragmentation of the active part 12. The resulting gases may cause fragments to be thrown off.

  • the connection preferably takes place in the region of the directly successive electrodes of two adjacent voltage arresters 10, for example by pressing in the one shown in FIG. 1 -4 shown pen attachment 50 in the correspondingly shaped mounting hole 52 of the same case in F I G. 1 -4 shown second electrode 16.
  • the housing 40 may be disposed on each surge arrester 10.
  • the in FIG. 10 two-part housing 40 may also be integrally formed.
  • the modular drainage system 60 is manufactured as follows. Several surge arresters, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, are mechanically and electrically connected to one another at the electrodes 14, 16. Subsequently, the housing 40 is formed over the entire length in the direction of the axis A of the arrester system 60, for example by pushing a prefabricated housing 40th
  • the active part 12 used in the surge arresters 10 may be designed, for example, for a rated voltage of 4 kV (kilovolts) or 6 kV.
  • the lead-off system 60 can be constructed with rated voltages in steps of 4 kV or 6 kV from the surge arresters 10.
  • Conductor 60 realize a nominal voltage of 10 kV. Consequently, arrester systems 60 for nominal voltages of, for example, 8 kV, 10 kV, 1 2 kV, 1 4 kV, 1 6 kV, etc. can be realized from the surge arresters.
  • the rated voltages of the surge arrester are not limited to 4 kV and 6 kV, but other rated voltages can be selected. Consequently, the arrester system 60 can be modularly constructed in any desired steps of, for example, 1 kV, 2 kV, 3 kV, or even 0.5 kV or 10 kV.
