ABSTRACT:
A highly reliable gas tube arrester capable of protecting both the input and output lines from an excess voltage appearing thereon, includes a hermetically sealed housing, having a plurality of electrodes affixed therein and spaced in a predetermined manner between themselves and the housing to provide a plurality of spark gaps. A breakdown of any one of the spark gaps will ionize a gas disposed within the housing providing a low impedance path between all of the electrodes to the housing which is normally connected to ground potential.
