Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH04227472A] PURPOSE: To provide a protector taking a appropriate measure for protecting a facility by detecting gaseous discharge in an electrically heated vacuum furnace. CONSTITUTION: An electrically heated vacuum furnace is provided with special lead-through devices 3 for transmitting current to the heating elements 4. In place of recognizing gas discharges which can occur between a lead-through 3 and a tank wall 1 directly, an auxiliary electrode 7 surrounding the insulation 6 of the lead through is provided and short circuit between the auxiliary electrode 7 and tank wall 1 is detected by means of a safety resistor detector, or the like. A thermocouple may be substituted for the surrounding auxiliary electrode.

Ein elektrisch beheizter Vakuumofen ist mit speziellen Durchführungen (3) zur Übertragung von Strom zu Heizelementen (4) versehen. Um Gasentladungen, welche zwischen einer Durchführung und der Kesselwand (1) stattfinden können, zu erkennen, ist die Isolation (6) der Durchführung von einer Hilfselektrode (7) umgeben. Anstelle einer Hilfselektrode kann auch ein Thermoelement verwendet werden. <IMAGE>
