(54) Device for overvoltage protection with protection status signalling


(57) The invention relates to the device for overvoltage protection with protection status signalling, which comprises the spring-loaded shifting member (5), which is in direction of its length positioned displaceably and is provided with profiled guiding groove (52), into which engages the first pin (60) of signalling lever (6), which is provided with an end (64) for visual signalling in a window (1 e1) in the body (1), at the same time the shifting member (5) acts by a pressing force upon the second electrically conductive member (44) and its first low-melting joint (43) with second electrode (42) of non-linear resistance element (4), while the second electrically conductive member (44) is further connected with connecting terminal (10) of the device. The shifting member (5) is by its length situated in direction (H) of height of the body (1) and on its end at the wall (11) of the body (1) it is provided with retaining recess (53) opened from above,, the retaining recess (53) has a shorter length than the length of profiled guiding groove (52), and into the retaining recess (53) is extending the second pin (61) of signalling lever (6).
