Definitions
- Overvoltage protection with a spark gap The invention relates to overvoltage protection with a spark gap and with a laser for igniting the spark gap.
- the invention is based on the object, overvoltage protection of the type mentioned and a method for
- An overvoltage protection with a spark gap (which has electrodes opposite one another) and with a laser for igniting the spark gap is disclosed, wherein the laser is provided with an input of an optical stretch element. is connected, which serves for the temporal stretching of the laser pulses generated by the laser, the output of the stretching element is connected to one end of an optical transmission fiber, in particular to one end of an optical waveguide, a second end of the transmission fiber is connected to an input of an optical compressor element, which serves for temporal compression of the laser pulses, and the output of the compressor element (optically) is connected to the spark gap.
- the optical transmission fiber only needs to transmit the time-stretched laser pulses.
- the maximum occurring local energy density in the optical transmission fiber is significantly reduced (compared to a transmission of non-stretched laser pulses).
- damage to the optical transmission fiber is avoided or the service life of the transmission period is extended.
- the optical compressor element is arranged, which upsets the laser pulses in time.
- laser pulses are present at the output of the compressor element, which again have a greater maximum energy density.
- the spark gap can be reliably ignited with the aid of these laser pulses.
- the overvoltage protection can be designed such that the (optical) output of the compressor element is directed in the direction of at least one electrode of the spark gap or in the direction of the gap between two electrodes of the spark gap.
- Compressor element can be advantageously ensured that the spark gap can be ignited safely and reliably by means of the compressed laser pulses.
- the overvoltage protection can be realized in such a way that the laser is a pulse laser, in particular a femtosecond laser.
- the pulse laser in particular by means of
- Femtosecond laser very short laser pulses can be generated, so that the temporal stretching of the laser pulses and the subsequent temporal upsetting of the laser pulses can be effectively applied.
- the overvoltage protection can also be realized in such a way that the transmission fiber is free from laser-active media. As a result, a simple and inexpensive transmission fiber, in particular a simple and inexpensive optical waveguide, can be used.
- the overvoltage protection can also be realized so that the spark gap and the compressor element on a
- the laser is connected to ground potential. It is particularly advantageous that the located at ground potential laser can be easily and inexpensively supplied with electrical energy. For example, this laser can be connected to a conventional AC power supply network and can be supplied with electrical energy in this way.
- the laser pulses are then transmitted to the platform via the transmission fiber, in particular the optical fiber. Due to the galvanic isolation realized by the transmission fiber / optical waveguides, there is no undesirable influence between the laser connected to earth potential and the platform connected to high voltage potential.
- the overvoltage protection can also be designed such that the stretching element is arranged outside the platform and the transmission fiber connects the stretching element to the platform, in particular to the compressor element.
- the overvoltage contactor can also be realized in such a way that optics for focusing the compressed laser pulses are arranged between the compressor element and the spark gap. By means of this optics, the laser pulses / the laser radiation can be focused on the spark gap, so that the spark gap can be ignited even safer and more reliable.
- the overvoltage protection may also be implemented such that the compressor element is rigidly coupled (i.e., in particular immovable) to the spark gap.
- This rigid coupling between the compressor element and the spark gap has the advantage that even in harsh everyday operation (in which, for example, vibrations or vibrations can occur) the laser radiation / laser pulses always flow safely into the
- Spark gap can be coupled.
- the rigid coupling between the compressor element and the spark gap furthermore ensures that the laser radiation always enters the space between the electrodes of the spark gap or meets the electrodes at the same angle.
- Such a rigid or immovable coupling between the compressor element and the spark gap can also be referred to as a "quasi-monolithic" coupling
- the overvoltage protection can also be realized in such a way that the spark gap is part of an ignition circuit for igniting a main spark gap to ignite a spark gap of low power by means of the laser first, whereupon this spark gap is then used to ignite a main spark gap of greater power.
- a method for igniting a spark gap (which has mutually opposite electrodes) by means of a laser, wherein in the method the laser pulses generated by a laser are stretched in time, the time-stretched laser pulses by means of an optical transmission fiber, in particular by means of an optical
- Optical fiber transmitted after transmission the time-stretched laser pulses are compressed in time, and the temporally compressed laser pulses are coupled into the spark gap.
- This method can be designed so that the time-stretched laser pulses are transmitted by means of the optical transmission fiber to an electrically isolated platform which is at a high voltage potential (and which is provided for carrying at least one electrical component seen before overvoltage) protect).
- the method can also be designed so that the spark gap and the compressor element are arranged on the platform, and the laser is connected to ground potential.

- the laser pulses of the fiber laser 17 are called Züriumt.
- the laser pulses are conducted via the optical waveguide 15 to the release spark gap 9. These laser pulses are so intense that an optical breakthrough in the tripping spark gap 9 is generated and thus the tripping spark gap 9 is ignited.
- the optical waveguide 15 In order to avoid damage to the optical waveguide 15 as a result of these intense and high-energy laser pulses, the optical waveguide 15 must be designed to be correspondingly robust and energy-resistant, as a result of which the optical waveguide 15 is cost-intensive.
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of the overvoltage protection 200 according to the invention.
- this overvoltage protection 200 has a main spark gap 2, an upper and a lower main electrode 3, a platform 4 (high-voltage platform 4), an ignition circuit 5, an ignition electrode 6, a first capacitor 7, a second capacitor 8 Spark gap 9 (tripping spark gap 9), an ohmic resistor 10 and a protective device 13.
- the overvoltage protection 200 has a laser 210, which is arranged at earth potential 260 including the (not individually shown) pump source.
- the laser 210 is a pulsed laser, in particular a femtosecond laser (this is a laser which emits laser pulses whose duration is in the femtosecond range).
- the laser 210 is connected to ground potential 260 and is located outside the platform 4.
- the pump source of the laser 210 may be configured as a conventional pump source, which may be e.g. B. generated by laser diodes pump light.
- the laser pulses generated by the laser 210 are stretched in time by means of an optical stretching element 218.
- an output 222 of the laser 210 is optically connected to an input 226 of the stretching element 218.
- An output 230 of the stretching element 218 is connected to one end of an optical transmission fiber 15 '.
- a second end of the optical transmission fiber 15 ' is connected to an input 234 of an optical compressor element 238.
- Compressor element 2348 the stretched laser pulses are compressed in time, so that the laser pulses (ideally) get their original shape.
- An output 242 of the compressor element 238 is connected to the spark gap 9, in particular the output 242 of the compressor element 238 is optically coupled to the spark gap 9.
- Compressor element 238 is arranged directly on the spark gap 9, so that the compressed laser pulses leaving the compressor element 238 directly reach the spark gap 9.
- the compressor element 238 is coupled to the spark gap 9.
- the compressor element 238 is rigidly coupled (ie immobile) to the spark gap 9, so that the laser radiation always invades the spark gap under the same conditions (same angle of incidence, etc.).
- the compressor element 238 may even be considered as part of the spark gap 9.
- the rigid (quasi-monolithic) fastening of the compressor element 238 to the spark gap 9 ensures the greatest possible freedom from influence of external disturbances (such as, for example, vibrations) on the location of the laser focus in the spark gap.
- the spark gap 9 is an encapsulated spark gap, which is arranged in a housing.
- the spark gap 9 has a first electrode 246 and a second electrode 248; the electrodes 246 and 248 face each other. An arc is ignitable between the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248.
- the Compressor element 238 is rigidly connected to the housing of the spark gap 9.
- the optical output 242 of the compressor element 238 is directed in the direction of the first electrode 246 and / or in the direction of the second electrode 248; the optical output 242 of the compressor element 238 may also be directed in the direction of the gap between the electrodes 246 and 248 of the spark gap 9.
- the laser radiation (compressed laser pulses) emitted by the compressor element 238 can reach the electrodes 246 and / or 248 or enter into the gap between the electrodes 246 and 248.
- the laser 210 and the stretching element 218 are located away from the platform 4, the compressor element 238 and the spark gap 9.
- the spatial distance is bridged by means of the transmission fiber 15 '.
- the transmission fiber 15 ' is an optical waveguide 15' in the embodiment. It is particularly advantageous here that the optical waveguide 15 'does not have to transmit the extremely short laser pulses of the laser 210, which have a high energy density. Rather, advantageously only the time-stretched laser pulses are transmitted to the platform with the optical waveguide 15 ', which have a comparatively lower energy density. Therefore, the optical waveguide 15 'is relatively less energetically loaded, so that a cost-effective optical waveguide can be used here.
- the optical waveguide 15 'as such has no laser-active medium, it is free of laser-active media. Also, therefore, a cost-effective optical fiber can be used here.
- the local intensity of the laser pulses in the optical waveguide 15 ' is considerably reduced compared to the local intensity in the optical waveguide 15 during the transmission of the laser radiation according to FIG. 1. In this way, a less expensive optical waveguide used and / or extended due to the lower wear the life of the fibers of the optical fiber.
- the independent of the optical waveguide 15 'laser 210 and the expression of the compressor element 238 as a separate component at the end of the optical waveguide 15' also allows better adjustability and maintenance and facilitates the replacement or repair of the compressor element or the laser.
- a partially redundant design of the components of the overvoltage protection is easy to implement.
- two redundant optical waveguide 15 'could be laid from the stretching element 218 to the platform 4, wherein only one compressor element 238 is present on the platform 4.
- the optical waveguide 15 ' (eg by means of another laser of different wavelengths) can be monitored for the presence of interruptions. This monitoring is particularly simple, since the optical waveguide 15 'is free of laser-active media.
- an optic 252 (containing, for example, one or more focusing lenses) for focusing the laser pulses / laser radiation may be provided on the compressor element 238, so that this laser radiation can be introduced even more accurately into the spark gap 9. But it can also be on the
- Optics are waived. Also optionally also known as such so-called self-focusing of the laser can be used.
- the electrically isolated platform 4, which is at high voltage electrical potential 256, carries the spark gap 9 and the compressor element 238. In addition, this platform 4 carries the electrical or electronic component or components, which protect against overvoltage by means of overvoltage protection are.
- the overvoltage protection 200 or the method for igniting the spark gap 9 functions as follows: As soon as the protective device 13 detects an overvoltage on the component to be protected, it sends a signal to the laser 210, whereupon the laser 210 generates short laser pulses with high energy density. Such a short laser pulse is shown schematically in FIG. These laser pulses are transmitted to the stretching element 218 and stretched in this time. At the output 230 of the stretching element 218, the time-stretched laser pulses then have a shape that is shown schematically in FIG. These stretched laser pulses are then fed into the optical waveguide 15 'and transmitted to the platform 4. The stretched laser pulses then pass to the compressor element 238.
- the compressor element 238 upsets the laser pulses in time, so that the laser pulses at the output 242 of the compressor element have a shape that is shown schematically in FIG. Ideally, the laser pulses at the output 242 of the compressor element 238 again have the same shape as at the input 226 of the stretching element 218. Thereafter, the laser pulses can optionally be focused by means of the optics 252. The laser pulses are then fed into the spark gap 9. Due to these laser pulses / laser radiation 255, the spark gap 9 is ignited, i. H. an arc begins to burn between the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248 of the spark gap. Through this ignited spark gap 9 (that is, through the burning arc), the second capacitor 8 of the ignition circuit 5 is bridged. As a result, the ignition electrode 6 is brought almost to the electrical potential of the platform 4. Since the distance between the ignition electrode 6 and the upper
- Main electrode 3 is smaller than the distance between the two main electrodes 3, an arc between the upper main electrode 3 and the ignition electrode 6 starts to burn. Due to this arc, the first capacitor 7 bridged, whereby the second capacitor 8 can recharge. As soon as the second capacitor 8 has a sufficiently high capacitor voltage, an arc begins to burn between the ignition electrode 6 and the lower main electrode 3, so that now the main spark gap 2 is completely ignited. As a result, a parallel to the main spark gap 2 switched to be protected component (which is not shown in Figure 2) protected from overvoltage.
- the laser pulse generated by the laser 210 is thus stretched in time prior to coupling into the transmission fiber 15 '. This reduces the maximum occurring local energy density of the laser pulse in the transmission fiber 15 ⁇ , so that damage to the transmission fiber can be avoided.
- a method known as such for temporally stretching the laser pulse is the so-called “chirping”:
- a short laser pulse consists of a broad color spectrum.
- “Chirping” uses the different transit times of the individual colors when passing through different media.
- chirp mirrors special multilayer mirrors
- Such a "negatively chirped" pulse is temporally stretched, compare Figure 4.
- Such grid arrangements, prism arrangements or multilayer mirrors are thus examples of the stretching element 218.
- FIG. 2 shows the stretching element 218 as a prism arrangement.
- a dispersive medium e.g., quartz
- a thin quartz block is an example of a compressor element 238.
- a simple optical component which may be e.g. contains a thin quartz block, are arranged at the end of the optical transmission fiber.
- a focusing lens can be arranged on the quartz block.
- acoustooptic dispersion filters can also be used as the compressor element and / or stretch element, for example.
- FIG. 3 shows a basic illustration of an exemplary laser pulse 310 at the output 222 of the laser 210.
- the intensity I ie the energy per time and area
- I the energy per time and area
- FIG. 4 shows an exemplary representation of a time-stretched laser pulse 410, as shown at the output 230 of FIG. 4
- Stretching element 218 occurs. It can be seen clearly the temporal extension of the laser pulse 410. This temporal extension of the laser pulse 410 results in the maximum intensity I being significantly reduced in comparison to the unstretched laser pulse 310 of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 shows a representation of the exemplary time-compressed laser pulse 255, as shown at the output 242 of FIG
- Compressor element 238 occurs. It can clearly be seen the temporal compression of the laser pulse 255 in comparison to the laser pulse 410 of FIG. This temporal compression of the laser pulse 255 causes the maximum intensity I in comparison to the extended laser pulse 410 of FIG. 4 is enlarged again. In this embodiment, this temporally compressed laser pulse 255 again corresponds to the original laser pulse 310.
- the main spark gap 2 can also be ignited directly by means of the laser 210. In the case of the main spark gap 2, higher energies occur than in the case of the spark gap 9 (in particular, larger currents flow and higher temperatures occur), in which case the compressor element 238 is correspondingly protected from heat.
- overvoltage protection components / components can be protected, which are arranged parallel to the main spark gap 2.
- overvoltage protection with spark gaps can be used to protect the capacitor banks and / or arrester banks.
- the series compensation system and the spark gaps are located on the isolated against the ground potential high-voltage platform 4.
- a control room with the monitoring electronics is not on the platform 4, but on the ground 258, ie at ground potential 260th
- the laser 210 is also disposed on the ground 258, that is at ground potential 260.
- the laser pulse is stretched in time in a controlled manner with the aid of the stretching element 218 before being coupled into the transmission fiber 15 '.
- the maximum local energy density occurring in the optical waveguide 15 ⁇ due to the laser pulse is reduced, as a result of which irreversible damage to the optical waveguide is avoided or the service life of the optical waveguide 15 'is extended.
- the laser pulse is again compressed / compressed in the compressor element 238. This is enough occurring by this temporally compressed laser pulse local energy density again to ignite the spark gap 9.
- the compressor element 238 and optics 252 optionally arranged thereon can be realized at the end of the transmission fiber in the form of an end piece which is arranged rigidly (ie in particular immovably) on the spark gap 9.
- the local intensity or the local energy density of the laser pulse in the optical waveguide / transmission fiber 15 ' is considerably reduced in the transmission of the elongated laser pulses 410 compared to the transmission of the unstretched laser pulses 310, d. H. to the transmission of the original laser pulses 310 of the laser 210.
