Publication number: 20180102637Abstract: A surge suppressor with a housing, a varistor located in the housing, an electrically conductive connecting element and at least one isolating interrupter. The isolating interrupter is movable relative to a first terminal of the varistor out of a first position into a second position, in the normal state of the surge suppressor, a first end of the electrically conductive connecting element being connected to the first terminal of the varistor in an electrically conductive manner and the isolating interrupter being held in its first position. When a critical state of the varistor is reached, the isolating interrupter is moved into its second position in which a segment of the interrupter is located between the first end of the electrically conductive connecting element and the first terminal. Reliable disconnection from the power system is ensured by the arc formed being moved into at least one partially closed chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9246322Abstract: Aspects of the innovations herein relate to surge protection devices. Such surge protection devices may have an arrester. The arrester may produce an equalization between different potentials and arrest a surge current during use. A sensor may be provided on the arrester, said sensor generating an electric switch-off signal. A switching device may receive the switch-off signal and separate the arrester from an electric circuit, the switching device and arrester being arranged in a physically separate manner from each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 8605400Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a device for diverting surge currents or transient overvoltages (1), with a switching stage (2) and a switching element (3). The switching stage (2) is so designed as to switch on the switching element (3) upon identification of an overvoltage or a surge current. The switching element (3) is a reversible semiconductor switching element, while the switch-on event is achieved by operating of the switching element (3) outside of the specified parameters.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7532450Abstract: An overvoltage protection means having a first electrode (1), a second electrode (2), a breakdown spark gap between the two electrodes (1, 2), and a housing (3) which holds the electrodes (1, 2). When the breakdown spark gap is ignited, an arc (4) is formed between the two electrodes (1, 2) within the discharge space (5) which connects the two electrodes (1, 2). The overvoltage protection arrangement has an especially high line follow current extinguishing capacity, but can nevertheless be easily built, and the discharge space (5) is made such that it runs at least partially transversely and/or opposite the direction of the electrical field of the prevailing line voltage so that the distance to be overcome by the arc (4) between the two electrodes (1, 2) has a transverse component relative to the electrical field.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Pheonix Contact GmbH & Co.
