Abstract
Electronic trigger circuits are nowadays used in modern lightning current arresters. Due to their mode of operation, considerable impulse currents may occur in these trigger circuits. As a result, the components of the trigger circuit could be overloaded. This article describes a specially designed surge-proof miniature fuse that protects the trigger circuit in a lightning current arrester. The special application-specific requirements on this fuse will be pointed out in detail. The miniature fuse described in this article, which is mounted on a printed circuit board, is adapted to the load capacity of the trigger circuit. The fuse was designed with a high impulse current carrying capability and has a long-time ageing resistance and a high extinguishing capability for line-frequency currents.
