Surge voltage arrester with shielding bodies enclosing a column of arrester elements

摘要

A surge voltage arrester, with a column of arrester elements arranged in a housing and several shielding bodies enclosing the column, includes voltage controlling elements arranged between the shielding bodies. The size and type of fastening of the voltage controlling elements can correspond to that of the support bodies which are likewise arranged between the shielding bodies. Through a distribution of the voltage controlling elements over the length of the surge voltage arrester, a uniform voltage distribution can be achieved if the arrester is installed ina grounded metal housing.
