Abstract
To control the direction of movement and prevent random scattering of fragments of MOV blocks resulting from the catastrophic failure of such blocks during overvoltage incidents, a stack of such MOV blocks with end fittings attached is placed within a rigid filament-wound epoxy-impregnated tube formed as one continuous tube or a tube made up of aligned tube segments positioned so as to establish a preferred failure direction; the interstices between the interior of such tube and the exterior of said blocks and end fittings are filled with a dielectric insulative material which extends beyond and engulfs said tube and said end fittings to seal and further rigidify said component stack and provide an air-free non-electrically ionizable environment about said component stack.
