摘要

Overcurrents caused by overvoltages on parallel current paths (a-a',b-b') are diverted by a common earth line (E). The paths are interconnected on the network side (L) by a transverse path (c-d) through an overvoltage diverter (1) triggered by a voltage above the peak value of a power supply voltage. Thyristor diodes (4,5) connecting the respective current paths to the earth line are fired by voltages slightly exceeding the max. operational voltages of the line. PTC resistors (2,3) decouple the thyristor diodes from the divertor and block the max. amplitudes of the supply voltage. IMAGE
