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 7):
An electrical protection device comprising:\n a first electrical connection; a second electrical connection; a spark gap formed between a first electrode and a second electrode, the first and second electrode each having a generally cylindrical structure of a predetermined diameter, the first electrode connected to the first electrical connection and the second electrode connected to the second electrical connection, wherein the first spark gap includes 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, the second gap width selected to form an electrical arc in air at a first breakdown voltage of at least 10,000 volts, 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 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 of the second electrode, a gap between the generally vertical region of the first electrode and the generally vertical region of the second electrode having a gradual linearly decreasing width from a widest point having the first gap width to a narrowest point having the second gap width nearer the pair of arcing horns, 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; a pair of arcing horns extending from the spark gap and positioned to carry the electrical arc formed at the spark gap away from the spark gap over a discharge time duration of a plurality of cycles at a power line frequency non-destructively, wherein the pair of arcing horns includes a first arcing horn adjacent to the upper corner of the first electrode and a second arcing horn adjacent to the upper corner of the second electrode.
