Electrode arrangement for an electrical component
First Claim
1. An electrode configuration for an electrical component, the electrode configuration comprising:
- two electrodes having a connection axis defining an axial direction, a radial plane extending radially relative to said connection axis and a circumferential direction extending circumferentially relative to said axial direction;
said electrodes each extending in a plate-shaped manner parallel to said radial plane;
at least one of said electrodes having a connection region lying in said radial plane and at least two ribbon-shaped strips each running away from said connection region at least partly in said circumferential direction;
said connection region having an outer edge;
said ribbon-shaped strips running outwardly in a spiral fashion in said circumferential direction from said outer edge of said connection region; and
at least two of said ribbon-shaped strips having delimiting surfaces each lying perpendicular to said axial direction and overlapping each other at a distance.

Abstract
An electrode configuration for an electrical component, in particular a surge protector, includes two electrodes extending in a plate-shaped manner parallel to a radial plane relative to a connection axis of the electrodes, defining an axial direction. At least one electrode has a connection region lying in the radial plane and at least two, three or four ribbon-shaped strips each extending away from the connection region and at least partially in circumferential direction relative to the axial direction. A fault arc, occurring during a lightning strike, can be conducted outwards away from the electrical component and forced into rotation around the electrical component in an effective manner due to the ribbon-shaped strips at the outer edge of the connection region and at least two ribbon-shaped strips overlapping each other at a spacing with respect to their delimiting surfaces lying perpendicular to the axial direction.
