.3-57. When the volt-age across the first gap is sufficient to spark, the second cylinder ischarged to line voltage and the second gap receives the static strainand breaks down. The successive action is similar to overturning arow of ten-pins by pushing the first pin against the second. This… … Fig. 2,352.—General Electric 2,200 volt arrester in the act of discharging, and shunting theline current. The figure shows an actual discharge taking place. It will be seen that theheavy line current passes across only four of the gaps, and then goes through the resist-ance rods; while the static…
