Abstract
An overvoltage surge arrester having an auxiliary breakdown path includes an elongated conductive electrode extension device received by one terminal of a gas tube arrester which has disposed thereon a pair of graphite washers with a mica washer sandwiched therebetween and a resilient insulating washer disposed between the extension device retaining head and one of the conductive washers. The other conductive washer is in intimate electrically conductive contact with the gas tube electrode that receives the electrode extension device. The assembly forms a creepage path in parallel with the surge arrester spark gap, when inserted into a conventional conductive cage and its associated tubular cap utilized with a station protector housing.
