Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2811492A1] A surge arrester is disclosed, comprising a first and a second terminal (1, 2) for connection to the active leads of an electric plant, between which a protection element (3) is inserted, provided with a pair of electrodes (4) electrically connected to said connection terminals, said protection element (3) being temperature-degradable depending on time, and between said first terminal (1) and an electrode (4) of the protection element (3) a disconnector being provided, the arrester further comprising a signalling device (30-39) of the state of degradation of said protection element (3), comprising at least movable means (30, 33), having a pressure element (30a) being biased by elastic means (35) against a cushion (H) made of temperature-variable viscosity material, signalling means (36) being connected with said movable means, which signalling means (36) make evident the level of degradation depending on their displacement caused by the sinking of said pressure element (30a) of said movable means (30) into said cushion (H).
