Abstract: A circuit breaker system is disclosed in the present application. The circuit breaker system includes a housing to hold an electrical interrupter within an internal region separated from an external ambient region. The electrical interrupter includes at least a first pair of electrical contact elements that are movable between open and closed positions. A voltage limiter, such as a metal oxide varistor (MOV), is connected across the pair of electrical contact elements to receive and dissipate a transient voltage when the first pair of electrical contacts is moved from a closed position to an open position, thereby reducing undesired arcing and premature wear or erosion of certain electrical components.

Abstract: A multi-terminal surge arrester which includes an active part extending along a longitudinal direction of the surge arrester, a first electrode resting against a first end of the active part, and a second electrode resting against a second end of the active part, which second end opposes the first end in the longitudinal direction of the surge arrester. The surge arrester further includes an insulating fixing device mechanically connecting and fixing the first electrode and the second electrode, and an insulating housing arranged around the active part. The active part includes at least two metal-oxide based varistor elements and a further electrode arranged between the at least two varistor elements, which further electrode provides an externally accessible electrical connection. Therein, the surge arrester is adapted for being insulated by surrounding air.

Abstract: An exemplary surge arrester includes a housing with protection against electric shock. A voltage-limiting active part is arranged in the housing and has a stack of varistor elements formed as a varistor column. An electrical connection is arranged outside the housing and is electrically conductively connected to the varistor column for connecting a high-voltage installation. The electrically conductive connection between the varistor column and the electrical connection is a flexible high-voltage cable conductor. The high-voltage cable has a first section arranged in the interior of the housing and formed without a shield, and a second section arranged outside the housing and having cable insulation and an electrically conductive shield that surrounds the cable conductor. The high voltage cable is electrically conductively connectable first to the housing and second to an encapsulation.

Abstract: Upper and lower mirror image die plates are resiliently supported and have predetermined displacement values for forming vortex generators and foldline crease channels without compressive deformation in a porous sintered metal fiber sheet material. Cutters and ridges coupled to the upper and lower die plates form the respective vortex generators and channels. The sheet of so formed material is then placed in an apparatus for bending the sheet at the foldline channels to corrugate the sheet without deformation of the sheet material between the corrugation bends. Fingers align with and engage the channels. The fingers are on plates that are ramped closer together simultaneously while the fingers on two mirror image coplanar sets of plates displace toward each other as the sheet material is folded. Pins on a pair of rotating levers engage each of the finger plates of the two sets for relatively horizontally displacing the plates and corresponding fingers as they are ramped together vertically.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a two-stage pressure atomizer nozzle for at least one liquid to be atomized, with which two-stage pressure atomizer nozzle improved liquid distribution in the exterior space of the pressure atomizer nozzle, in particular improved fuel distribution in a premix burner, can be achieved. To this end, the pressure atomizer nozzle has a nozzle head (4) connecting the outer and inner tubes (2, 3) to one another downstream. At least two separate turbulence and/or swirl chambers (9, 10, 11, 12) are arranged in the nozzle head (4). Each of these turbulence and/or swirl chambers (9, 10, 11, 12) is connected to the second feed passage (6) via at least one swirl passage (16), to the first feed passage (5) via at least one turbulence-generator passage (15) and to the exterior space (18) of the nozzle body (1) via a discharge opening (17).
