ABSTRACT:
A multi-element gas filled surge arrester is disclosed in the form of a gas-filled generally cylindrical casing having an elongated rod-like ground electrode disposed along the casing axis with its ends terminating in casing end caps, and a linear alternating array of conductive and insulative sleeves interposed between the end caps, coaxial with the ground rod, and defining the cylinder of the casing. The assembly thus provides a stack of annular interacting ionizable gaps each of which may have its annular electrode connected to a respective terminal of repeater or other multi-terminal intermediate equipment having both input and output circuits, whereby ionization of one gap due to a surge appearing at its respective line terminals will promptly trigger ionization of the other gaps thus mitigating potentially damaging differential current flow resulting from differing strike potentials.
