he other end of the coilconnects to the other end of the resist-ance, to which the line also con-nects. The resistance b is made upof a stick of graphite and, havingpractically no inductance, it offerslittle or no opposition to the dis-charge.

As soon as the discharge has passed,the core drops back and the arrester is…
