PCT No. PCT/GB91/00405 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 15, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 15, 1992 PCT Filed Mar. 15, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/14304 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 19, 1991.A surge arrester 2 comprises eight surge arresting varistor blocks 4 stacked within a polymeric outer insulating housing 14. A fibre optic cable 16 is fed into the surge arrester 2 through one end electrode 6, helically wound around all the blocks 4 in good thermal contact therewith and exits through the same electrode 6. A monitoring arrangement 18 compares the light incident on and emergent from the optical cable 16 to determine its integrity and thus the integrity of the surge arrester 2.
