Abstract
An electrical assembly having a surge arrester coupled in parallel to an insulator of high mechanical strength for increasing the mechanical strength of the surge arrester. The arrester having a plurality of non-linear resistive blocks positioned between a pair of end fittings and enclosed in a polymeric weathershed housing. The insulator having a reinforced fiberglass rod with a pair of end fittings and covered by a polymeric weathershed housing. The end fittings of the surge arrester and the insulator being rigidly coupled together by a pair of mounting plates for maintaining the surge arrester parallel to the insulator, and thereby increasing the mechanical strength of the arrester.
