Surge voltage protector with an external short-circuiting device

摘要

In order to give an external short-circuit device of a surge voltage protector a current carrying capacity that is as large as possible, a device is made up of a two-armed flexible short-circuit clip whose contact regions are arranged axially to end electrodes. The contact region is formed by two brackets that release a center region of the respective end electrode, and that stand opposite an edge region. An insulating spacer is arranged between a common base of the contact brackets and the edge region of the respective.
