Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011116960A1] The invention relates to an overvoltage protection device for protecting electrical low-voltage installations, which device comprises a lower device part (2) and at least one upper device part (3), wherein the lower device part (2) has input and output terminals (4, 5) for the electrical conductors to be connected and also has contact elements (6, 7) designed in particular as sockets and connected to the input and output terminals (4, 5), and wherein the upper device part (3) has at least one overvoltage protection element (8, 9). A wide variety of models of the overvoltage protection device (1) can be achieved with a small number of different components and a neutral-impedance plugging in and withdrawal of the upper device part (3) by the additional provision of an intermediate device part (10) which at one end can be fitted onto the lower device part (2) and onto the other end of which the upper device part (3) can be fitted. The intermediate device part (10) has mating contact elements (11, 12) corresponding to the contact elements (6, 7) of the lower device part (2) and also has contact elements (13, 14) connected to the mating contact elements (11, 12). The intermediate part (10) has at least one longitudinal element (15) connected between two mating contact elements (11, 12), and the upper device part (3) has mating contact elements (16, 17) corresponding to the contact elements (13, 14) of the intermediate device part (10).
