Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surge protector technology, specifically to an outdoor gapless metal oxide surge protector. Background Technology
[0002] Gapless metal oxide surge arresters are surge arresters composed of nonlinear metal oxide resistors connected in series and / or parallel, without parallel or series discharge gaps. They are mainly installed in power lines. The nonlinear metal oxide resistors have nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics, exhibiting low resistance under overvoltage conditions, thus limiting overvoltage between the arrester terminals, while exhibiting high resistance under normal power frequency voltage. The surge arrester is connected in parallel to the line; when the voltage applied across it exceeds the resistor's threshold voltage, the resistor quickly conducts, thus absorbing the surge current in the line system.
[0003] Currently, most outdoor surge protectors are modified from indoor track-mounted surge protectors. They achieve partial insulation, waterproofing, and dustproofing by simply adding an explosion-proof enclosure or box inside the distribution panel or control cabinet, or by changing the connection method from screw crimping to bolt connection, or by reducing the voltage of the surge protector while keeping its shape and reducing its size.
[0004] However, these outdoor surge protectors, which are made through simple modifications, not only involve complicated procedures and long production cycles, but also lack high-level insulation, waterproofing, and dustproofing, making them unable to operate safely and reliably outdoors, especially in extreme environments where outdoor power and communication systems are located.
[0005] It should be noted that this section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of this disclosure set forth in the claims. The description herein does not constitute an admission that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section. Utility Model Content

[0040] The design of the thin-wall fastener 3 and the upper end flange 4-1 of the insulating shell 4 can realize the packaging of the components in the insulating shell 4.
[0041] The first conducting member 14 is arranged in the insulating shell 4 and includes a first screw nut and a first screw rod. The first screw nut is arranged downwardly, and the first screw rod penetrates the thin-wall fastener 3 and is insulatedly connected with the thin-wall fastener 3 as an overvoltage input end.
