Abstract
A monolythic surge suppressor includes a power source, an inductor coil, and a load in series with one another and in parallel with at least a first varistor. The first varistor and the inductance coil are formed into a single unitary laminated assembly having at least first and second terminations connected thereto. A second varistor can be connected in parallel with the first varistor and is connected to a third termination.
Claims15
A monolythic surge suppressor comprising:
- an inductor coil assembly comprising a plurality of coil segments, each being sandwiched between a plurality of ferrite layers, a plurality of connector means extending through said ferrite layers to interconnect said coil segments in series with one another to create a continuous coil means having first and second ends;
- a first varistor assembly comprising at least one layer of varistor material sandwiched between a first conductor sheet and a second conductor sheet;
- said inductor coil assembly and said varistor assembly being stacked one above the other to form a single laminated assembly;
- first lead means attached, to said laminated assembly and being in electrical connection with said first conductor sheet of said varistor assembly;
- second lead means attached to said laminated assembly and being in electrical connection with said first end of said coil means and in electrical connection with said second conductor sheet of said varistor assembly.
