  • Surge arrester for a plurality of lines to be safeguarded
    Patent number: 4305109
    Abstract: A surge arrester is disclosed for a plurality of lines which are to be commonly safeguarded. In order to produce a multi-link arrester for the above application, for each of a plurality of lines which are to be safeguarded, there is provided an individual arrester to which a common arrester is connected in series. The response characteristics correspond to those of a gas discharge multi-link arrester having a common gas chamber. A capacitor is connected in parallel to the common arrester. The individual arresters and the common arrester are arranged in a beaker which is designed as a plug. A metal plate serves in the interior of the metal beaker as an electrode terminal in common to all arresters. The metal plate along with the metal beaker forms the capacitor.
