FAIL SAFE SURGE ARRESTER SYSTEMS

摘要

An air gap surge arrestor has two overlapping layers of electrically conductive layers and an intermediate insulating layer interposed between the conductive layers. The intermediate layer has predetermined aperture in the area of overlap between the conductive layers to establish an air gap between the conductive layers. All of the layers are flexible to permit a bending thereof to conform to the shape of an electrode of a device to be protected by the surge arrester.
