<p>A gas tube lightning arrestor includes a glass or ceramic envelope upon the ends of which are disposed disk-type electrodes and upon the interior surface of which is deposited a coating of a dessicant electrolyte. During normal operation, the electrolyte remains inert, but upon the occurence of gas leakage, atmospheric moisture is able to leak into the envelope and react with the electrolyte rendering the same conductive, such phenomena causing talking noise and/or excessive loop conductance, the latter conditions being detectable by conventional means during the course of normal plant operations.</p> |
