ABSTRACT:
An improved mechanism for adjusting the distance between the electrodes of lightning arresters, particularly of the horn gap type, used to protect ungrounded antenna systems. The adjustment mechanism is insulated from the hot electrode so that the hot electrode can be moved to adjust the gap between the electrodes while the antenna is radiating power. The hot electrode is attached to an insulator placed on a base. The position of the base on a slide track can be changed by use of a screw mechanism. Springs help keep the base in place after the adjustment is made.
