Power and telecommunications surge protection apparatus |
摘要 |
The invention provides a power surge protection apparatus which includes at least one large capacitor used within a surge protection circuit associated with an electrical load to be protected. This large capacitor or capacitors are arranged to divert and store at least a portion of the energy present in a transient voltage surge to prevent or mitigate damage to the protected electrical load. In preferred embodiments the invention uses large capacitors in the form of electrical double layer capacitors. |

1. A power surge protection apparatus, comprising:
at least one large capacitor used within a surge protection circuit associated with an electrical load to be protected, said large capacitor being configured to divert, dissipate, and store at least a portion of the energy present in a transient voltage surge to prevent or mitigate damage to said electrical load; at least one non-linear element connected with said at least one large capacitor, the connection of the large capacitor with said at least one non-linear element allowing charging of the large capacitor when the non-linear element activates; and at least one transformer, said at least one large capacitor is connected across terminals of the primary and secondary windings of said at least one transformer but not to the terminals which are connected together. |
