Abstract
A device which triggers off a drive mechanism (6) when an error occurs is provided in order to detect an error in a high voltage surge diverter. The drive mechanism (6) is triggered by an electrical signal. The electrical signal is produced according to the current which flows in the leakage path of the high voltage surge diverter. The inventive device can be, for instance, embodied as a high voltage surge diverter disconnecting device or as a failure signal device for high voltage surge diverters.
Claims7
An apparatus for detection of a fault in the dissipation current path of a high-voltage surge arrester, having a drive (6) which produces drive forces by means of an expanding gas and can be initiated when a fault occurs,
- characterized
- in that the drive (6) is controlled by an electrical signal which is produced as a function of a current flowing in the dissipation current path.
