ABSTRACT:
A short circuit clip with legs for resiliently engaging a line and ground electrode of a gas tube arrester includes an air gap device at one set of legs. The air gap device includes a conductor member extending from the clip to contact an arrester electrode and insulated from the clip by a layer of insulation having a hole to form the gap. The air gap device may be releasably connected with the clip or permanently attached. In the former case, a ferrule housing, which acts as an electrode for the air gap, is fitted to the clip. In the latter, the conductor is a rivet which attaches the device to the clip. Non-metallic fusible elements are interposed between the clip legs and associate arrester electrode.
