The invention discloses a
surge protector, and relates to the technical field of
overvoltage protection equipment, and the
surge protector comprises a first separation unit and a second separation unit which are connected in series. The first separation unit comprises a first
pole piece of the piezoresistor and an
electrode piece electrically connected with the wire inlet end, and the first
pole piece and the
electrode piece are connected through
soldering tin to form a first
breakpoint. The second separating unit comprises a second
pole piece of the piezoresistor, a moving contact electrically connected with the wire outlet end and a separating mechanism, the moving contact is in contact with the second pole piece to form a second
breakpoint, the separating mechanism comprises a sliding block and an elastic piece, the
electrode piece is fixed to the sliding block, and the sliding block is provided with a
firing pin. When surge occurs in the circuit, the
soldering tin is fused to disconnect the first
breakpoint, the sliding block slides under the action of the elastic piece, and the
firing pin pushes the moving contact to be separated from the second pole piece to achieve disconnection of the second breakpoint. According to the
surge protector provided by the invention, the
breaking capacity of the surge protector can be improved, and the risk of electrical accidents caused by untimely breaking is reduced.
