Abstract: A device for counting the overvoltage surges discharged by a gapless overvoltage arrester contains a sensing head and a counting mechanism which follows the sensing head. In the sensing head, the discharge current carried by the overvoltage arrester in a ground return line during the occurrence of an overvoltage surge is detected. The counting mechanism records an overvoltage surge as soon as the discharge current exceeds a threshold value. During this process, an effective connection between the sensing head and a counter is established for a brief time by means of a switch. This device is intended to be characterized, with a high counting accuracy, by a dead time which is independent of the components used. This is achieved by the measure that the switch is followed by a threshold detector which responds above the threshold value of the discharge current.

Abstract: Layered active brazing material in the form of two microcrystalline or amorphous foils applied to both sides of a ductile metal ribbon acting as a carrier. The foils consist of an alloy containing two or more of the elements Cu, Ti, Ge, Si, Ag, Zr, Ni, Al, Fe and are produced by spraying the molten alloy onto a rapidly rotating, cooled copper cylinder, and the resulting ribbon detaching itself from the cylinder. Production of the ductile metal body covered on both sides with foils using spot welding.
