ins to discharge to earth. Butnow at the end of the medium resistance connection itfinds only 4 unbroken gaps, and is able to break themdown and it does so. In this way the whole arrester breaks down in sections,even for low frequency discharges. In Fig. 50 is shown a 2300 volt arrester with two… … Fig. 50. A 2300 volt Multigap Shunt Resistance Arrester forAlternating Current. With these high voltages a long spark gap shuntedby a fuse is placed in series with the arrester. Then ona heavy short circuit the fuse blows and puts the sparkgap in series with the arrester. 128 ELEMENTARY ELECTRICITY…
