  • Quartz sand for example, is suitable as an extinguishing medium, particularly for high switching powers.
  • the variant described below solves the problem of creating a fuse that combines the advantages of a classic current-limiting fuse with those of an activatable, quasi-intelligent fuse with only one cutting blade, a small size and a simple activator.
  • the fuse When functioning passively, the fuse does not increase the protection level of the downstream arrester and, when activated, does not generate any voltage above the designated protection level of the respective connected surge protection device.
  • the solution in this regard is based on one or more parallel fuse fuse conductors, which are arranged within an extinguishing medium.
  • the fuse conductors have several conventional electrical, i.e. current bottlenecks in series, the number of which corresponds to the usual design for the corresponding nominal voltage of the fuse.
  • the fusible conductors extend primarily in a straight line axially through the fuse body.
  • the structure and functionality of such a fuse and the bottlenecks correspond to those of conventional fuses with high short-circuit currents or virtual melting times of approx. ⁇ 10 ms.
  • the at least one fusible conductor preferably has at least one further special mechanical constriction between the usual current constrictions mentioned, which can be severed by at least one actuator and a cutting blade or a similar means.
  • the cutting blade as a separating element is preferably made of an insulating material or provided with an insulating coating. This insulating cutting blade leads to an extension of the isolating distance between the interrupted fusible conductor. The resulting isolating distance is capable of achieving a dielectric strength of at least 2.5 kV, preferably 4-6 kV.
  • the additional bottleneck according to the invention according to further embodiments of the invention differs from known, usual bottlenecks by the measures described below.
  • the geometric or mechanical additional bottleneck has a residual cross-section that is higher than that of the usual bottlenecks.
  • the melting integral value (I 2 t value) of the bottleneck is dimensioned so that it is equal to or minimally higher than the switch-off integral of the fuse. This design means that the bottleneck does not respond to short-circuit currents.
  • the geometric constriction and the cutting blade are located in an area without extinguishing medium.
  • This area is preferably separated from the areas with extinguishing medium and the electrical bottlenecks with thin webs on both sides.
  • the width of this area is essentially limited to the blade width and twice the fusible conductor thickness.
  • the fusible conductor or conductors are guided through the insulation web in such a way that preferably no further sealing to the separation area is necessary in order to prevent the penetration of an extinguishing medium, for example quartz sand.
  • an extinguishing medium for example quartz sand.
  • the insulating bars can be made of ceramic, vulcanized fiber or polymers with or without gas release (POM).
  • the wall thickness is preferably ⁇ 1 mm.
  • the width of the cutting blade is preferably higher than the fusible conductor width, but at least wider than the additional mechanical constriction.
  • the blade has a stroke that goes beyond the expansion range of the fusible conductor when cutting.
  • the distance of the shortest connection between a fuse conductor cut without current is ⁇ 4 mm. In the event of an arc switch-off, the distance is extended due to the fusible conductor erosion. Measures to extend the sliding distance can be provided on the blade.
  • the blade can form an insulating gap with a fixed or deformable counterpart.
  • the arc can extend quite quickly from the cutting area into the area with extinguishing agent.
  • the pressure development and thus the housing load in the cutting area is therefore low.
  • the high extinguishing capacity is guaranteed by the narrow areas in the two areas with extinguishing agent, for example compacted quartz sand.
  • the material of the additional constriction in the cutting area is available to extend the arc. Through the choice of material for the blade and the insulation webs or web walls, comparatively good cooling of the arc can also be achieved in this area.
  • the fuse conductor routing and the impedance do not differ from conventional fuses, which means that the voltage drop in pulse currents can be limited. Due to the passive behavior of the additional bottleneck in the event of a short circuit, the voltage level of the fuse can be limited and it is possible to maintain the protection level of the arrester.
  • the fuse Due to the possibility of quickly extending the arc when cutting just one bottleneck in the area with compacted extinguishing agent or so-called “stone sand", the fuse can be activated even with high short-circuit currents, which ensures both passive and active functionality.
  • the fuse can be activated even at high currents with virtual melting times ⁇ 10 ms. This means that the fuse can be interrupted after a short time in a practically de-energized state, with small currents well below the rated current and even with high residual currents in the kA range. Likewise, almost any time/current characteristic curve can be implemented according to the respective requirements.
  • the fusible conductors it is possible to separate the fusible conductors simultaneously with greater effort or one after the other with less effort using a single actuator.
  • the direction of movement can be straight or circular or eccentric.
  • the blades can also be designed differently to suit this type of movement.
  • the invention proposes using a simple igniter, that is, a so-called bridge igniter, without its own explosive power.
  • a simple igniter that is, a so-called bridge igniter
  • the pressure wave that arises during ignition is used in the manner of a piston/cylinder principle to separate the mechanical or geometric bottleneck of the fusible conductor or conductors.
  • the blade shaft itself can be guided in the piston or connected to the piston or attached to a projectile guided in the piston.
  • the blade can therefore be arranged very close to the fusible conductor. However, a distance can also be selected to increase the impulse of the blade if there is sufficient space or the drive is located outside.
  • the piston and also the blade can preferably be additionally guided.
  • the mentioned projectile sits loosely in the butt.
  • In the piston cavity there is an igniter or bridge igniter, which fills the piston cavity.
  • the cavity is sealed from the projectile over a distance in the direction of movement, which corresponds at least to the movement path until the fusible conductor or conductors are severed. This ensures that the seal to the projectile in the piston is only removed after the bottleneck has been severed.
  • the fuse fuse conductors are preferably rigidly attached to the fuse housing with a bottom cap and an end cap.
  • the isolation of the cutting area from the extinguishing agent area on both sides serves as additional guidance for the fusible conductors in the narrow cutting area.
  • the guide in the bushings of the sealing plates is designed in such a way that the fusible conductor or conductors, when positioned transversely to the blade, are allowed to deform slightly in the direction of the blade movement when the blade hits it. It has been shown that this slight deformation requires less effort than a rigid fuse conductor guide. When separating the fusible conductors are bent on both sides between the insulation and the blade. Alternatively, punching is also possible with appropriate blade design and necessary force.
  • the force effect of the actuator is essentially based on the thermal expansion of the gas surrounding the bridge igniter. After opening the piston, this minimally heated amount of gas can easily relax within a very small volume, i.e. possibly directly in the cutting area, so that no reinforcement of the fuse housing, the caps or a vent or similar need to be provided.
  • actuators with slower response times can also be used.
  • shape memory alloys or other volume-changing materials are conceivable here.
  • the highest requirements for coordination between the force required to cut or separate a bottleneck are tied to the required pulse current carrying capacity, at which no separation of the fuse fuse element should be caused.
  • the loads on varistor-based arresters are lower than on lightning surge current arresters based on spark gaps.
  • a maximum load of 100 kA 10/350 ⁇ s is assumed for lightning rods. In standard alternating current networks, this means a load of 25 kA 10/350 ⁇ s for the individual spark gap.
  • the fuse element of a fuse should meet the above requirement in the application described. This applies to both the usual electrical bottlenecks and the additional mechanical or geometric bottlenecks described.
  • this requirement corresponds approximately to a fuse with a rated current of 315 A.
  • the rated voltage of the fuse a voltage in the range of the line-to-line voltage of the network in which the arresters are used is often selected. This means that the fuse should be suitable for a voltage of 400 volts in a standard 230/400 volt network.
  • the arrester back-up fuse does not generate an arc voltage that is above the protection level of the arrester.
  • the bottlenecks of NH fuses one can be used for each bottleneck A voltage of approx. 300 volts can be expected.
  • a further solution variant according to the invention is based on a controllable fuse, in particular for use as an arrester backup fuse, with this variant causing a defined tearing of a fuse fuse conductor using a special, additional bottleneck.
  • This approach is therefore aimed at a space-saving and cost-effective embodiment of a triggerable fuse, which is based on the defined tearing of a special additional bottleneck of a fuse fuse element in the extinguishing medium after activating a trigger.
  • the remaining properties of an otherwise passive, fully functional backup are not affected.
  • the special features of this solution approach lie in the simplicity of the trigger and the coordination of the additional, geometric bottlenecks with the classic, well-known safety bottlenecks.
  • the expansion of the fusible conductor occurs predominantly at an additional mechanical, i.e. geometric, predetermined breaking point.
  • the additional mechanical predetermined breaking point also known as a tension point, must be coordinated and dimensioned in conjunction with the known electrical bottlenecks.
  • the cross section of this is smaller than that of the electrically relevant bottlenecks.
  • the mechanical bottleneck does not respond before the electrical bottlenecks under all current loads, including transient loads, but rather with a time delay or at higher loads.
  • the relevant embodiment of the invention is therefore based on one or more parallel fuse fuses in an extinguishing medium.
  • the fuse conductors have several conventional constrictions in series, the number of which corresponds to a usual design for the corresponding nominal voltage of the fuse.
  • the fusible conductors extend primarily in a straight line axially through the fuse body.
  • the fusible conductor or conductors preferably have at least one further, special narrow point between the known constrictions mentioned, which can be torn by an actuator.
  • the actuator used also requires a defined extension of the interrupted fusible conductor.
  • the resulting total isolating distance achieves a dielectric strength of at least 2.5 kV.
  • the additional bottleneck differs from the usual bottlenecks in the following features.
  • the additional mechanical or geometric bottleneck has a residual cross-section that is significantly smaller than that of the usual bottlenecks.
  • the melting integral value of the constriction is equal to or even greater than that of the usual known constrictions during the period of transient pulse current loads, in particular the current pulse form 8/20 ⁇ s and 10/350 ⁇ s.
  • the force of the actuator therefore acts almost exclusively on the additional bottleneck according to the invention.
  • the expansion of the usual, well-known bottlenecks as a result of the force exerted by the actuator is negligible.
  • the mechanical bottleneck is designed in comparison to the electrical bottlenecks in such a way that it generally does not respond to mains frequency loads. However, the area of the bottleneck is available for extending the arcs from the normal bottlenecks.
