Overload Protected Solid State Varistors

US Patent:
6094128, Jul 25, 2000
Filed:
Aug 11, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/132492
Inventors:
John C. Bennett - Hampton VA
Ronald D. Boyd - Poquoson VA
Robert W. Stockum - Poquoson VA
Assignee:
Maida Development Company - Hampton VA
International Classification:
H01L 710
US Classification:
338 21
Abstract:
A fail-safe varistor includes either a fail-short or a fail-open device. Both devices include a fusible, electrically conductive material that melts before the varistor fails due to overvoltage. In the fail-open device, the fusible, electrically conductive material joins separated portions of the leads. The material also may join at least one of the leads directly to a ceramic disk of the varistor. Upon reaching the predetermined temperature, the varistor melts causing a circuit including the varistor to open. In the fail-short device, the material melts creating a short between the leads. This short causes a fuse or a breaker to open the circuit.

Voltage Surge Protector

US Patent:
4794485, Dec 27, 1988
Filed:
Jul 14, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/073188
Inventors:
John C. Bennett - Hampton VA
Assignee:
Maida Development Company - Hampton VA
International Classification:
H02H 320
US Classification:
361127
Abstract:
A device for suppressing transient surges in electrical power available from an electrical outlet is disclosed. The device is adapted for mounting on a back side portion of the electrical outlet. Surge protection components, such as planar varistors are disposed within an insulative housing block which forms the body of the device, and the device is physically mounted and electrically connected to the electrical outlet by mounting apparatus such as stiff metal leads.
