  • Separating device for an overvoltage protection element
    Patent number: 10242773
    Abstract: The invention relates to a separating device for an overvoltage protection element, wherein the separating device is to be arranged between the overvoltage protection element and a thermal disconnector, wherein the separating device has a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer, wherein a conductive layer is arranged between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, wherein the first insulating layer has a first cutout for a contact with the disconnector, and wherein the second insulating layer has a second cutout for a contact with the overvoltage protection element, wherein the cutouts provide a possibility for contacting the conductive layer and the conductive layer provides a thermal bridge between the overvoltage protection element and the thermal disconnector, with the insulating layers making both a thermal and an electrical insulation available, so that heat of the overvoltage protection element can be conducted in a focused manner to the thermal disconnector.
