Abstract
A fine arrestor having a body with a bore there through, an inner conductor within the bore, an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor, and an inner conductor inductor within the bore coupled electrically in parallel with the inner conductor capacitor. A first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body and a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body, for conducting a surge to ground. Also, other coaxial in-line assemblies may be formed incorporating the inner conductor cavity for isolation of enclosed electrical components.

A surge arrestor, comprising:
- a body with a bore therethrough,
- an inner conductor within the bore,
- an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor,
- an inner conductor inductor within the bore coupled electrically in parallel with the inner conductor capacitor;
- a first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body;
- a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body.
A surge arrestor, comprising:
- a body with a bore therethrough;
- an inner conductor within the bore;
- a dielectric spacer positioned between a capacitor surface of a surge end of a surge portion of the inner conductor and a capacitor surface of a protected end of a protected portion of the inner conductor;
- an inner conductor inductor positioned within an inner conductor cavity, the inner conductor cavity closed between the surge end of the inner conductor and the protected end of the inner conductor;
- a first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body;
- and
- a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body.
A method for manufacturing a surge arrestor, comprising the steps of:
- forming a body with a bore therethrough;
- placing an inner conductor within the bore,
- positioning a dielectric spacer between a capacitor surface of the surge end of the inner conductor and a capacitor surface of the protected end of the inner conductor;
- positioning an inner conductor inductor within an inner conductor cavity, the inner conductor cavity closed between the surge end of the inner conductor and the protected end of the inner conductor;
- and
- coupling a first shorting portion between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body.
