UNIT OF DISCHARGER PROTECTING AGAINST OVERVOLTAGE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering, protection against overvoltage. SUBSTANCE: unit of discharger protecting against overvoltage has discharger for protection against overvoltage with first terminal for connection with second terminal away from first one under first electric potential and third terminal for connection with fourth terminal away from it under second electric potential. First terminal is located beneath mentioned third terminal in vertical direction. Unit also has connecting aid meant for electric connection of first terminal of discharger to mentioned second terminal made for physical disconnection from first terminal in case of short-circuit of discharger and aid meant for rebuilding of electric connection to provide for uninterrupted current passing from first terminal of discharger to second terminal after mentioned disconnection. EFFECT: enhanced safety level. 7 cl, 10 dwg
