Arrester for protection against overvoltages
An arrester such as an arrester for protection against overvoltages is disclosed. In an embodiment an arrester includes a housing configured to act as an external electrode, a central electrode arranged completely within an inner region of the housing, a discharge region arranged between the central electrode and the housing, a ceramic body separating the housing and the central electrode, wherein the ceramic body is arranged in an offset manner relative to the discharge region and a shielding element arranged on an inside of the housing, and wherein the shielding element extends over an entire longitudinal extent of the central electrode along the inside of the housing.
1. An arrester comprising:
a housing configured to act as an external electrode;
a central electrode arranged completely within an inner region of the housing;
a discharge region arranged between the central electrode and the housing;
a ceramic body separating the housing and the central electrode;
wherein the ceramic body is arranged in an offset manner relative to the discharge region; and
a shielding element arranged on an inside of the housing,
wherein the shielding element extends over an entire longitudinal extent of the central electrode along the inside of the housing.
2. The arrester according to claim 1 , further comprising a coupling element, wherein the ceramic body comprises an aperture, and wherein the coupling element passes through the aperture into the inner region of the housing.
3. The arrester according to claim 2 , wherein the coupling element is soldered to the central electrode.
4. The arrester according to claim 2 , wherein the coupling element comprises an end region which protrudes from the housing and from the ceramic body, and wherein the end region comprises a screw thread.
5. The arrester according to claim 2 , wherein the coupling element comprises a central region, wherein the central region has a larger diameter than a connection region via which the coupling element is connected to the central electrode, and wherein the coupling element is connected to the ceramic body via the central region.
6. The arrester according to claim 2 , further comprising an ignition aid, wherein the ignition aid is formed on an inner wall of the aperture of the ceramic body.
7. The arrester according to claim 6 , wherein the ignition aid is arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of the arrester.
8. The arrester according to claim 6 , wherein the ignition aid comprises graphite strips.
9. The arrester according to claim 1 , further comprising a ceramic element, wherein the ceramic element is arranged between the ceramic body and the central electrode.
10. The arrester according to claim 9 , wherein the ceramic element is spaced from the central electrode and fastened to the shielding element.
11. The arrester according to claim 9 , wherein the ceramic element rests directly on a partial region of the inside of the housing.
12. The arrester according to claim 9 , wherein the ceramic element has a step, wherein the step is formed circumferentially on a surface of the ceramic element.
13. The arrester according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic body comprises an end region facing away from the central electrode, wherein the end region is arranged outside the housing, and wherein a gradation is formed on the end region.
14. The arrester according to claim 13 , wherein the gradation is formed circumferentially around an edge region of an aperture.
15. An arrester comprising:
a housing configured to act as an external electrode;
a central electrode arranged completely within an inner region of the housing;
a discharge region arranged between the central electrode and the housing;
a ceramic body separating the housing and the central electrode,
wherein the ceramic body is arranged in an offset manner relative to the discharge region;
a shielding element,
wherein the shielding element is arranged on an inside of the housing, and
wherein the shielding element extends over an entire longitudinal extent of the central electrode along the inside of the housing; and
a ceramic element,
wherein the ceramic element is located between the ceramic body and the central electrode, and
wherein the ceramic element is fastened to the shielding element.
