Embodiment Construction
[0057] figure 1 Shown is a basic block circuit diagram for illustrating the basic configuration of the protection device. The encapsulated spark gap 1 has a conventional ignition device 4 for transient overvoltage protection, said spark gap comprising at least two main electrodes 2 and 3 . The spark gap is ignited via an auxiliary electrode 5 connected to the ignition device 4 . The arrangement meets all requirements for conventional lightning arresters used in low-voltage networks.
[0058] Spark gap 1 can also be activated completely and independently of ignition device 4 via further ignition device 6 . Spark gap 1 can be activated by ignition device 6 likewise by means of auxiliary electrode 5 or alternatively also by means of a separate auxiliary electrode 7 .
[0059] Activation of ignition device 6 absolutely requires a signal at input 8 . In a preferred embodiment, when a signal is present at input 8 , activation of the spark gap is triggered via device 6 only in co...
