    摘要: An overvoltage protection device has a plurality of overvoltage arresters and a disconnecting apparatus. For each of the overvoltage arresters a blocking element is present, each of which is arranged so as to block the path of movement of a mechanically preloaded wedge slide having a wedge bevel. A rocker lever arrangement has first lever arms corresponding to the number of wedge slides and at least one second lever arm for blocking or releasing a displacement element, wherein ends of the first lever arms each have a surface for contacting the respective wedge bevel of the wedge slides in such a way that, when the respective path of movement is released, at least one of the wedge slides lifts the corresponding first lever arm with its wedge bevel, as a result of which the second lever arm releases the displacement element.

    摘要: The invention relates to a short-circuiting device for use in low-voltage and medium-voltage systems for the protection of property and persons, comprising: a switching element, which can be operated by the tripping signal of a fault detection device; two mutually opposite contact electrodes having power supply means, which contact electrodes can be brought into contact with an electrical circuit having connection points at different potential; furthermore, in at least one of the contact electrodes, a movable contact part, which is under mechanical preload and executes a movement to the further contact electrode with the assistance of spring force in the event of a short circuit; and a sacrificial element as a spacer between the contact electrodes, with an electrical connection between the sacrificial element and the switching element on the one hand and one of the contact electrodes on the other hand, in order to deliberately cause current-flow-induced thermal deformation or destruction of the sacrificial element. According to the invention, the movable contact part is in the form of a hollow cylinder which is closed on one side, and a spring for generating preload is inserted in the hollow cylinder. The hollow cylinder is movably guided in a complementary cutout in the first contact electrode, a sliding contact thus being formed. In the region of the base of the closed hollow cylinder, the cylinder wall of said hollow cylinder transitions into a cone at the outer circumference. Furthermore, a first pin-like extension, opposite to which a second pin-like extension insulated from the contact electrodes is situated, extends within the hollow cylinder, proceeding from the base. The sacrificial element, in the form of a bolt or screw, is arranged between the first and the second pin-like extension. A cutout, which has an internal cone and is matched to the external cone of the movable contact, is provided in the second contact electrode. The external cone and the internal cone form a bounce-free short-circuit contact region having frictional locking and interlocking connection on account of plastic deformation which occurs. Furthermore, according to the invention the switching element is designed as an auxiliary short-circuiter on the basis of an electric match.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for detecting electrical currents on or in the vicinity of electrical conductors with at least one Reed switch as a magnetically responsive switch, which is arranged in the vicinity of the electrical conductor such that, when there is a significant current flow through the conductor, the magnetic field created triggers the switch and initiates an evaluation electronics connected to the switch. For the detection of surge current variables and the differentiation between long-term pulsed currents and short-term pulsed currents, a plurality of Reed switches are arranged at a predetermined distance from the electrical conductor, wherein the evaluation electronics determines the response and the switching times of the respective Reed switches, determines die surge current variable from the allocation of the determined values to the respective Reed switch and the pulse form from the switching time, wherein, for the purpose of adjusting the response behavior, at least one of the Reed switches comprises a shielding for influencing the magnetic field acting on the respective Reed switch.
