ABSTRACT:
An overvoltage surge arrester which has a reduced turn on time and is suitable for use at low voltage levels to protect electronic equipment, such as telephone repeaters and the like; this protective device includes a core of semiconductor material provided with a predetermined surface creepage path thereacross and electrically conductive terminals (electrodes) disposed on each end thereof. The conductive terminals or electrodes may extend towards each other to provide a secondary, backup discharge gap. The surge arrester may be used as an integral part of a gas filled device with the conductive electrodes connected between a line electrode and ground electrode thereof.
