EXPLOSION-TYPE RELEASE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; power engineering to disconnect AC, DC, and ripple currents; experimental studies to produce high voltages and power outputs. SUBSTANCE: release has electrodes, hollow destructible current conductor made in the form of coil, explosive charge, and initiator. Coil turns of hollow destructible current conductor are insulated. EFFECT: rise of inductance within short time, practically abruptly, causing high voltage surges during initial phase of disconnection; high electric strength of turn-to-turn insulation. 2 dwg
