Abstract
Arresters for protecting electrical equipment from damage or destruction due to overvoltage surges, for example overvoltage surges caused by lightning strokes, are provided that are fabricated or assembled integrally with cable taps, cable joints, separable insulated connector apparatus, and overhead arrester assemblies. Arresters are also provided for insertion in arrester receptacles which are integrally provided with cable taps, joints, separable insulated connector apparatus or cable receptacle devices. The arresters include a laminated enclosure for excluding the atmosphere, air and moisture, along the outer surfaces of arrester components and along the outer surface of an insulating housing layer, as well as along interfaces with insulated power cable and separable insulated arrester components. The housing is either fabricated by coating or molding onto the arrester components or by inserting the arrester components in an interference fit relationship into a premolded elastomeric enclosure.
