Abstract:
Electrical protection devices, such as for use with power systems for overvoltage protection, are disclosed. One electrical protection device includes a first electrical connection, a second electrical connection, a first electrical discharge device, and a second electrical discharge device. The first electrical discharge device includes a first conductive bus connected to the first electrical connection and a second conductive bus connected to the second electrical connection. The first electrical discharge device has a first breakdown voltage. The second electrical discharge device includes a third conductive bus connected to the first electrical connection and a fourth conductive bus connected to the second electrical connection. The second electrical discharge device has a second breakdown voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical protection device comprising:\n a first electrical connection; a second electrical connection; an electrical discharge device, including:\n a first conductive bus connected to the first electrical connection and a second conductive bus connected to the second electrical connection, the electrical discharge device forming a spark gap between a first electrode of the first conductive bus and a second electrode of the second conductive bus, each of the first and second electrodes at least partially constructed from an ablation-resilient material, the first and second electrodes each having a generally cylindrical structure of a predetermined diameter and converging to form the spark gap, the spark gap including: \n a breakdown region comprising a vertically-oriented trapezoidal region defined by a gap height, a first gap width, and a second gap width, wherein a difference between the first gap width and the second gap width is less than the predetermined diameter and the gap height is greater than at least the second gap width; and \n a pair of arcing horns extending angularly therefrom, \n wherein the breakdown region is formed between a generally vertical region of the first electrode and a generally vertical region of the second electrode, the generally vertical region of the first electrode being defined by a lower corner adjacent to a converging region of the first electrode and an upper corner adjacent to the arcing horn of the first electrode, the generally vertical region of the second electrode being defined by a lower corner adjacent to a converging region of the second electrode and an upper corner adjacent to the arcing horn of the second electrode, a gap between the generally vertical region of the first electrode and the generally vertical region of the second electrode has a gradual linearly decreasing width from a widest point having the first gap width to a narrowest point nearer the pair of arcing horns having the second gap width, the second gap width being selected to form an electrical arc in air at a breakdown voltage of at least 10,000 volts, \n wherein, upon formation of the electrical arc in the first breakdown region, an electrical current passes between the first electrode and the second electrode and is discharged over a plurality of cycles at a power line frequency across the pair of arcing horns non-destructively; and \n a support structure comprising:\n a plurality of mounts constructed to withstand a Lorentz force generated in the event the electrical current exceeds a peak value of at least 60,000 amps during the plurality of cycles at the power line frequency; and \n a plurality of supporting insulator elements rigidly stabilizing the electrical discharge device and constructed to withstand the Lorentz force.
