ABSTRACT:
An excess voltage arrester of the kind comprising a gas-filled enclosure having an electrode structure (1, 11, 13) within the enclosure which defines at least one discharge gap. A portion of at least one electrode (13) is adapted to melt on overheating of the arrester so as to take up a generally spherical form (19) under the action of surface tension and thereby contact another electrode (1).
