Abstract
The invention relates to a contact for a varistor (VAR), comprising a first feed element (ZL) which is suitable for connecting to a supply network, and a plurality of electrical connection points (V, V. . . VN) which are at a distance from one another and are suitable for making multiple connections to a pole of said varistor (VAR). The plurality of electrical connection points (V, V, . . . VN) and the first feed element (ZL) are electrically interconnected, and the plurality of electrical connection points (V, V, . . . VN) are each designed with fuse elements (F, F, . . . FN) such that local shorting of one part of the varistor (VAR) can be achieved by disconnecting the local electrical connection point (n) (V, V, . . . VN) in question.
