An elastomeric surge arrester housing includes a sleeve having a tubular core and radiating sheds. The sleeve is molded in a first configuration and, when the core is radially stretched, assumes a second configuration in which the sheds assume a downwardly extending configuration. The sheds, in the second configuration, include an upper surface having a generally frustoconical shape. The housing may be made using conventional molding techniques, but requires substantially less material than if the housing were molded directly into the second configuration. |
