Abstract
A surge suppressing resistor for a disconnect switch is provided which has its interior and exterior surfaces in fluid communication with the atmosphere to achieve a greater cooling effect. A glass epoxy stacking rod is supported between the end flanges of the resistor assembly and is used when two or more resistor bodies are to be joined together to form a unitary resistor assembly. The stacking rod is stressed and compressive forces hold the resistor bodies together as a unit for structural rigidity and electrical contact.
