Abstract
A surge arrester includes a short-circuit device. The short-circuit device includes at least one first base element. The first base element is rigidly connected in an electrically conducting and mechanical manner to a first electrode of the surge arrester. The short-circuit device also includes at least one spring arm arranged on the base element. The free end of the spring arm has a distance to the base element, and the spring arm extends over at least two adjoining electrodes of the surge arrester.
Claims19
A surge arrester having a short-circuit device, the short-circuit device comprising:
- at least one base element that extends over an entire length of the surge arrester and is connected to a first electrode of the surge arrester in an electrically conductive and mechanically secured fashion;
- and
- at least one spring arm arranged on the at least one base element, a free end of the at least one spring arm being at a distance from the at least one base element and extending over at least two neighboring electrodes of the surge arrester.
An electrical device comprising:
- a surge arrester having first electrodes and second electrodes;
- a base element that extends over the entire length of the surge arrester and is connected to the first electrode of the surge arrester in an electrically conductive and mechanically secured fashion;
- and
- a spring arm arranged on the base element, the spring arm having a free end at a distance from the base element, spring arm extending over at least the first and second electrodes of the surge arrester.
