Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a high-voltage thick-film high rupturing capacity substrate fuse. The characteristic feature of the inventive fuse is that inside a tubular insulating casing / 1 /, which is closed at both ends with metal endocarps /2 / and filled with arc quenching medium / 3 /, there is located at least one insulating substrate / 4 /, along which there is placed at least one fuse element / 5 / in the form of a thin conducting film and which has terminal areas / 6 / at its ends, which areas are electrically connected with the end-caps by specially shaped contacts / 7 / located inside the end-caps. The fuse element comprises a basic part formed by multiple identical V-shaped modules and two end modules forming electric connections between the basic part and the terminal areas. In each module, the arms of the V shape, of a specific width, end with arches directed outwards / 8 /, which arches are connected with the arches of the arms of the neighboring modules by means of line segments, thus forming a line, which bends many times at a constant angle and has truncated vertices in each module, in which line at least one module contains at least one edge constriction / 9 /, enabling opening of the current path when the fuse is overloaded.
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a passive indicator of voltage presence used to indicate voltage in electrical conductors, electrically powered devices, power distribution devices and transmission lines of high, medium and low voltage. The indicator according to the invention is characterized in that it has form of a multilayer plate comprising two electrically conductive layers (2, 4) and an intermediate layer (3) of a structure manifesting electrooptical properties, located between them, wherein the intermediate layer is a display element of the indicator, while the conductive layers are electrodes of that display element and they are electrically connected by means of a diode (5), and one of the conductive layers is at least partially transparent. In one of variant embodiments of the indicator according to the invention, at least one of the conductive layers is divided into smaller conductive surfaces, separated from one another and being not in contact with each other, which adhere to the intermediate layer and are electrically connected with the other conductive layer or with its individual surfaces by means of diodes.
