Abstract:
1. A device for providing protection for an electrical power supply network against overvoltages, comprising: (a) at least one protection component with at least one first and one second power supply terminal; (b) at least one first and one second connection pad designed to provide electrical connection of the device to the electrical installation; (c) at least one first conducting element electrically connected to the first terminal of the protection component and one second conducting element electrically connected to the first connection pad, the first and second conducting elements are electrically connected to each other; (d) at least one third conducting element electrically connected to the second terminal of the protection component and a fourth conducting element electrically connected to the second connection pad, the third and fourth conducting elements are electrically connected to each other; (e) a first mounting delimiting a first interstitial space with a dimension fixed by construction that at least partially houses the first conducting element and the second conducting element, the size of the first interstitial space is such that the first and second conducting elements are held in contact with each other to make the electrical connection between the first and second conducting elements; and (f) a second mounting delimiting a second interstitial space with a dimension fixed by construction that at least partially houses the third conducting element and the fourth conducting element, the dimension of the second interstitial space is such that the third and fourth conducting elements are held in contact with each other to make the electrical connection between the third and fourth conducting elements.
