Abstract
A station arrester employing metal oxide varistors has varistors whose capacitances increase in a direction measured from the ground side of the arrester. An approximately uniform voltage distribution can be produced across the varistors when appropriately graded according to their positions in the varistor stack. In this configuration, the varistor disks located near the top or line end of the stack are not subjected to increased thermal stresses.
