Abstract
A surge suppression device may include a housing having a cavity, a center conductor positioned within the cavity, a spiral inductor having an inner curve coupled to the center conductor and an outer curve, a coil capture device connected to the outer curve of the spiral inductor, and a ring assembly having a first ring connected to the coil capture device, a second ring connected to the housing, and a voltage limiting device positioned between the first ring and the second ring.
Claims20
A surge suppression device comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity therein;
- a conductor disposed in the cavity of the housing;
- an inductor having a first portion coupled to the conductor and a second portion;
- and
- a ring assembly defining an opening for passing the conductor therethrough, the ring assembly having a first ring coupled to the second portion of the inductor, a second ring coupled to the housing and a voltage limiting device coupled to the first ring and the second ring.
