Abstract
An arrester is disclosed. In an embodiment, the arrester includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a switching contact, a first discharge space between the first and second electrodes and a short-circuiting mechanism suitable for short-circuiting the first and second electrodes and for switching a state of the arrester, wherein, in a first state, at least one electrode of the first and second electrodes is not electrically conductively connected to the switching contact and, in a second state, the at least one electrode is electrically conductively connected to the switching contact.

An arrester comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a switching contact;
- a first discharge space between the first and second electrodes;
- and
- a short-circuiting mechanism suitable for short-circuiting the first and second electrodes and for switching a state of the arrester,
- wherein, in a first state, at least one electrode of the first and second electrodes is not electrically conductively connected to the switching contact and, in a second state, the at least one electrode is electrically conductively connected to the switching contact.
An arrester comprising:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a switching contact;
- a first discharge space between the first and second electrodes;
- a second discharge space having a higher ignition voltage than the first discharge space;
- and
- a short-circuiting mechanism, which is suitable for short-circuiting the first and second electrodes and for switching a state,
- wherein, in a first state, at least one electrode of the first and second electrodes is not electrically conductively connected to the switching contact and, in a second state, the at least one electrode is electrically conductively connected to the switching contact.
