VARIABLE ELECTRIC FIELD BALANCING DEVICE

摘要

Variable electric field balancing device formed by a hollow assembly that, with geometric shapes that can be different on the outside, comprises an upper passive capture element (2), as a capture electrode, a lower passive capture element (3), as a reception electrode, and an insulator element (4) that keeps them separated from each other at a distance (d) dependent on the conductivity coefficient of the materials, and that, also, externally covers the lower element (3) like a skirt to the lower base of the same, preventing the impact of a lightning bolt on said lower element (3) from being able to induce the generation of an upward leader, and there is also an expansion and compression valve (5) that connects the outside to the inside of the hollow assembly and which expands in phases of passage of current and/or absorption of external induced surges, and compressed at the end of the compensation of the field.

1. A variable electric field balancing device that, comprising conductive capture elements separated by an electrical insulator incorporated on a mast (6) with earth connection (7), is characterised in comprising a hollow assembly comprising an upper passive capture element (2), which acts as a capture electrode, and a lower passive capture element (3), which acts as a reception electrode, and both elements (2, 3) may have various geometric shapes on the outside, and an insulator element (4) arranged between said upper (2) and lower (3) elements maintaining them separated from each other at a variable distance (d) dependent on the conductivity coefficient of the of the materials said elements (2 and 3) are composed of, and the geometry of which, of the insulator element (4) is such that, in addition to internally separating the two elements, the insulator element externally covers the lower element (3) like a skirt to the lower base thereof, preventing the impact of a lightning bolt on said lower element (3) from being able to induce the generation of an upward leader, and it also has an expansion and compression valve (5) that connects the outside to the inside of the hollow assembly and which expands in phases of passage of current, absorption of external induced surges, or a combination thereof and is compressed at the end of the compensation of the field.
