ABSTRACT:
A gapped low voltage bushing (10) comprising a controlled spark gap (1), a metallic arc strap (18), a resistive material (46) and a metallic tank ground pad. Surges entering the transformer on any of the secondary bushings of sufficient magnitude to induce gap sparkover, result in a shunting of otherwise damaging currents safely outside the transformer.
