ABSTRACT:
A surge arrester protection system includes a surge arrester, a first mechanism fixed on a first end of the surge arrester for directing arcs around the surge arrester and a second mechanism fixed on a second end of the surge arrester for directing arcs around the surge arrester. The first and second mechanisms each include a plurality of slots extending substantially radially therein. Additionally, a cap which covers a lower end of the arrester is used to catch material dripping from the surge arrester and a cap covering an upper end of the arrester is used to protect the arrester from animals and the elements.
