Abstract
A device for protecting against overvoltages that includes at least one overvoltage protection component (); a thermosensitive member () capable of deforming, dependent upon the temperature thereof; a thermal connection between the at least one protection member and the thermosensitive member; and at least one mechanical member () for cooperating with the thermosensitive member and capable of cooperating with a system for triggering an electrical cut-off device (). The thermosensitive member () and the at least one mechanical member () are arranged such that, when the thermosensitive member exceeds a given temperature threshold, the thermosensitive member, by reason of the deformation thereof, causes a movement of said at least one mechanical member () which correspondingly actuates the system for triggering the electrical cut-off device.
