Definitions

  • This invention relates to lightning arrestors and, more particularly, to a method of indicating failure of a surge arrestor of a lightning arrestor, and to a lightning arrestor having failure indication.
  • Lightning arrestors are commonly used to protect electrical transmission lines against lightning strikes.
  • Prior art lightning arrestors generally comprise an assembly of an elongate surge arrestor and an explosive cap which detonates when a current exceeding a predetermined magnitude passes through the cap. The assembly is clamped into position with one end of the assembly connected to the transmission line, and the other end earthed.
  • a method of indicating failure of a surge arrestor of a lightning arrestor including the steps of: providing a surge arrestor having a cap attached thereto, the cap being frangible when a current of a predetermined magnitude passes through the cap; and mounting the surge arrestor and the cap between a pair of conductive mounting members to cause the surge arrestor and the cap to be retained in position as a result of a combined length of the surge arrestor and the cap, and for destruction of the cap to cause the combined length to be reduced and the surge arrestor to move out of engagement with the mounting members, thereby indicating failure of the surge arrestor.
  • a lightning arrestor comprising: a surge arrestor; a cap which is mounted on an end of the surge arrestor, the cap being frangible when a current of a predetermined magnitude passes through the cap; and a mounting means arranged on the surge arrestor and the cap for mounting the surge arrestor and the cap on an insulator such that destruction of the cap causes the surge arrestor to move into a position indicating failure of the surge arrestor.
  • the cap may include an explosive charge so that detonation occurs when said current passes through the cap.
  • the mounting means may include a first mounting member positioned on the cap.
  • the first mounting member may be pivotally engageable with a complementary mounting formation extending from the insulator.
  • the mounting means may further include a second mounting member, arranged on an opposed end of the surge arrestor.
  • the second mounting member may be releasably engageable with a complementary mounting formation extending from the insulator.
  • the second mounting member may be such that it moves away from its complementary mounting formation when the cap is destroyed, so that the surge arrestor can pivot away from the insulator.
  • the lightning arrestor may include a retaining means fastened between the surge arrestor and the first mounting member so that the surge arrestor is inhibited from falling to the ground.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a lightning arrestor according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the lightning arrestor of Figure 1.
  • a lightning arrestor is indicated generally by reference numeral (10)
  • the lightning arrestor (10) includes a surge arrestor (12).
  • a cap (14), including an explosive charge, is mounted on a first end (16) of the surge arrestor (12).
  • the explosive charge in the cap (14) is detonated when a current of a predetermined magnitude passes through the cap (14).
  • the lightning arrestor (10) includes a mounting means (18) which is arranged on the surge arrestor (12) and the cap (14) for mounting the surge arrestor (12) and the cap (14) on an insulator (20).
  • the mounting means (18) includes a first mounting member in the form of a rod (22) which is mounted transversely on an end (21) of the cap (14) via a bracket (24).
  • a carrier (26) is mounted on one end (28) of the insulator (20).
  • the carrier (26) defines a pair of spaced, open-ended slots (30).
  • the rod (22) is received in the slots (30) to be pivotal with respect to the carrier (26)
  • the rod (22), the bracket (24) and the carrier (26) are conductive.
  • the mounting means (18) also includes a part-spherical projection (32) extending from a second end (34) of the surge arrestor (12).
  • An opposed end (36) of the insulator (20) has a blade(38) of spring steel extending therefrom. A portion of the blade (38) defines a part-spherical recess (40).
  • a combined length of the surge arrestor (12) and cap (14) is such that, when the rod (22) is received in the slots (30), the surge arrestor (12) and the cap (14) can be pivoted towards the insulator (20) in the direction of an arrow (42) in Figure 1.
  • the insulator (20) has a mounting bracket (46) extending therefrom. In use, the insulator (20) is mounted, via the mounting bracket (46), on a mast (not shown). The insulator (20) is mounted so that, when the surge arrestor (12) is in the position shown in the drawings, the surge arrestor (12) will pivot, under gravity, away from the insulator (20), in the direction of an arrow (48) in Figure 1 should the projection (32) be displaced from the recess (40).
  • a plate (58) extends into the cap (14).
  • the plate (58) is connected to a stud (not shown) which is fastened to the surge arrestor (12).
  • the lightning arrestor (10) includes a retaining means in the form of a nylon cord (not shown) which is looped between openings (not shown) defined in the plate (58) and in the bracket (24). Thus, the surge arrestor (12) is inhibited from falling to the ground.
  • a handling formation (52) extends from the second end (34) of the surge arrestor (12).
  • the handling formation (52) defines a ring (54) and a push bar (56).
  • the handling formation (52) permits a user to replace the lightning arrestor (10) via a suitable elongate tool.
  • a further ring (62) is mounted on the rod (22) further to facilitate replacement of the lightning arrestor (10).
  • the applicant believes that the invention provides a simple and convenient means for indicating failure of a lightning arrestor.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un paratonnerre de ligne qui comprend les éléments suivants: un coupe-circuit de surtension; un capuchon qui est monté sur une extrémité du coupe-circuit, qui est aligné avec celui-ci, et qui va se briser lorsqu'il est traversé par un courant d'une certaine magnitude; et enfin, des plaques de montage qui sont disposées sur le coupe-circuit de surtension et sur le capuchon. Ces plaques de montage permettent de monter le coupe-circuit de surtension et le capuchon sur un isolateur, de sorte que la destruction du capuchon entraîne le déplacement du coupe-circuit de surtension en une position indiquant sa défaillance.
