ABSTRACT:
A surge diverter connected between a conductor and ground comprising several spark-quenching gaps, voltage-controlled shunting resistors connected in series with these gaps and voltage controlled control-resistors, each connected in parallel either to a gap alone or to a unit formed by a gap and a shunting resistor in series with the latter. The voltage-controlled control-resistors have current-voltage characteristics with substantially the same steepness, while the resistance value of these control-resistors at the rated voltage increases sequentially from the conductor to grand.
