Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0706245A2] An overvoltage protection element for diverting transient excess voltages includes two electrodes (2) with an effective air breakdown spark path (3) between them. Each electrode (2) has a connector (5) with an associated obliquely positioned arcing horn (6), with both arcing horns (6) of the mutually spaced electrodes (2) together forming the air breakdown spark path (3). A quench-plate (23) arrangement comprising at least one preferably several quenching plates (22) is provided in the housing (4).
