FIG. 3 shows the most basic type of surge absorbing circuit for a DC power supply, which has a structure in which an arrester 1 and a zinc oxide varistor 2 are connected in parallel to an input side circuit of a load 7. Generally, lightning arrester 1
Has a large surge energy resistance and a slow response speed, and the zinc oxide varistor 2 has a small surge energy resistance and a fast response speed.
The surge absorbing circuit for the DC power supply of FIG. 3 utilizes the characteristics of the lightning arrester 1 and the zinc oxide varistor 2, and the lightning surge having a high speed is absorbed by the oxide varistor 2 and the wave tail length which requires energy resistance. The lightning arrester 1 absorbs a long lightning surge.

(di / dt) is generated and the relay 4 described later is operated. The relay 4 is connected in parallel with the inductance 3 and is normally in the OFF state. This relay 4
It operates by the induced electromotive force generated by the inductance 3. A zinc oxide varistor 5 is connected in parallel with the relay 4. This zinc oxide varistor 5 protects the relay 4 from a lightning surge if it enters the circuit. Reference numeral 6 is a contact of the relay 4, which is connected to the lightning arrester 1 in series.

Will be described with reference to. In these drawings, first, if there is no intrusion of lightning surge, the induced electromotive force is not generated at both ends of the inductance 3, so that the relay 4 does not operate.
Therefore, the contact 5 of the relay 4 is kept in the ON state, and the arrester 1 is also kept connected to the circuit.

らt2 だけ遅れて再びON状態に戻る。On the other hand, when a lightning surge enters, an induced electromotive force proportional to the time derivative of the lightning surge current is generated at both ends of the inductance 3. Then, when this induced electromotive force rises to the touching voltage of the relay 4, the relay 4 operates. As a result, the contact 5 is turned off. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, normally, the contact of the relay operates after a delay of several ms to several tens of ms from the start of operation of the relay.
The contact 5 is delayed by t 1 from the start of the operation of the relay 4 and becomes OF
It becomes the F state. Therefore, the contact 5 is kept in the ON state for t 1 immediately after the lightning surge enters, and the arrester 1 is caused to discharge for t 1 . Then, after the lapse of t 1 , the contact 5 is turned off.
In this state, the arrester 1 and the circuit are disconnected from each other, and the discharge of the arrester 1 is stopped. As a result, the continuous flow that continues to flow through the arrester 1 is cut off. After that, as the surge voltage decreases, the induced electromotive force also decreases, and the excitation of the relay 4 is released. As a result, the contact 5 returns to the ON state again after a delay of t 2 from the end of the excitation of the relay 4.

続流は回路から遮断される。According to the surge absorbing circuit for the DC power supply of this embodiment, the contact of the relay 4 is turned off after the lightning arrester 1 is discharged, so that the continuous current generated after the lightning arrester 1 is discharged. Disconnected from the circuit.

For example, even if the zinc oxide varistor 5 for protecting the relay 4 is omitted, the effect of the surge absorbing circuit for the DC power supply of the present invention does not change.
