Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a general technical device for protecting electrical equipment or installations against voltage disturbances such as surges, in particular against transient overvoltages, for example due to lightning strikes.
[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for protecting electrical installations from voltage surges, in particular transient overvoltages due to lightning strikes, wherein all of the electrical installations thus bypassed Said devices include:
[0003] main spark gap,
[0004] A pre-triggering circuit sensitive to voltage surges, wherein the pre-triggered circuit bypasses the electrical service and is connected to a pre-triggering element that controls the striking of the spark gap arc in the event of a voltage surge . Background technique
[0005] Devices for protecting electrical equipment from overvoltages are widely used and are usually designed as "lightning arresters". Their essentia...
