Abstract: The invention specifies a magnet armature for a contactor, a contactor, and a method for switching a contactor. The magnet armature allows the risk of the contacts of a contactor sticking to be reduced and to this end comprises a first spring element with a first stiffness and a second element with a second stiffness. The first spring element is deformed during the movement from an inoperative position to a central position. The second spring element is deformed during the movement from the central position to an end position.

Abstract: A surge arrester is disclosed. In an embodiment the surge arrester includes a first electrode for applying a first voltage potential to the surge arrester, a second electrode for applying a second voltage potential to the surge arrester, and a short-circuiting link for short-circuiting the first and second electrodes. The surge arrester further includes a retaining element for retaining the short-circuiting link, wherein the retaining element is embodied in such a way that it keeps the short-circuiting link at a distance from the first and second electrodes when a temperature is below a threshold value, and it shifts the short-circuiting link such that the short-circuiting link is pressed against the first and second electrodes and a short-circuit is produced between the first and second electrodes when the temperature exceeds the threshold value.

Abstract: A spark gap arrangement includes a triggerable spark gap and a trigger circuit. The spark gap arrangement also includes a first and a second charge storage device, a voltage limiting component, a trigger diode, a triggerable arresting element, and a transformer. The voltage limiting component and the trigger diode are designed to relay an input pulse in a specified voltage range and charge the first charge storage device. Furthermore, the trigger circuit is designed such that the triggerable arresting element is connected via the first charge storage device dependent on the voltage and discharges the second charge storage device via a primary side of the transformer.

Abstract: A spark gap arrangement comprises a triggerable spark gap (TF) and a trigger circuit (TRG), which comprises a first and a second charge store (C1, C2), a first resistor (R1), a triggerable dissipation element (SF, SF3, TD, TH) and a transformer (T1). The trigger circuit is set up to intermediately store the energy of an input pulse supplied to the input side of the trigger circuit (TRG), wherein storage takes place at least by means of the first charge store (C1). A part of the stored energy is transferred to the second charge store (C2) via the first resistor (R1). The triggerable dissipation element (SF, TD, TH) is set up to turn on on the basis of a voltage across the second charge store (C2) and to discharge the first charge store (C1) via a primary side (T11) of the transformer (T1). In this case, a secondary side (T12) of the transformer (T1) is connected to a main electrode (HE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF) and to a trigger electrode (TE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF).
