The present application discloses an
AC power surge protector, which relates to the technical field of power surge protection, and includes a cylinder body, a cover body, an
electrode column and a
varistor group, wherein the
electrode column is coated with a first insulator, a second insulator is arranged in the cylinder body, a positioning groove for placing the
varistor group is arranged in the second insulator, the
varistor group includes a plurality of varistors stacked in sequence, and each varistor is coaxially placed in the positioning groove, the surface of the varistor is provided with an aluminum sand surface, and a sand pit is arranged on the aluminum sand surface, an aluminum film is arranged between two adjacent varistors, and a clamping structure for clamping the
electrode column against the varistor group is arranged on the cylinder body. A gas
discharge tube is also installed in the cylinder body, and the gas
discharge tube is respectively connected to the varistor group and the cylinder body, and a grounding column is arranged at the bottom end of the cylinder body. The present application ensures that each varistor can evenly share the
voltage and current, thereby extending the service life of the
AC power surge protector.
