Abstract
A conductor assembly includes an electrical conductor, a surge arrester which has a longitudinal direction, an operating state in which the surge arrester is configured to limit an overvoltage occurring in the electrical conductor, and a test state in which the surge arrester is not configured to limit the overvoltage. An electrically insulating support is disposed between the surge arrester and the electrical conductor in the longitudinal direction. The support is supported by the electrical conductor, and the surge arrester is supported by the support.
Claims16
A conductor assembly, comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical conductor;
- a surge arrester disposed in said housing and having a longitudinal direction, an operating state and a test sate, said surge arrester configured to limit an overvoltage occurring in said electrical conductor in said operating state, and said surge arrester not configured to limit the overvoltage in said test state;
- and
- an electrically insulating support disposed in said housing between said surge arrester and said electrical conductor in said longitudinal direction, said electrically insulating support being supported by said electrical conductor and said surge arrester being supported by said electrically insulating support;
- said surge arrester having one side connected to ground and another side connected to said electrically insulating support.
