Abstract

In an enclosed-type zinc-oxide surge arrester with a grounded tank filled with an insulating medium, and a non-linear resistor assemblage which is connected at one end to a high voltage conductor and at the other end to the ground potential portion within the grounded tank, two or more ring-like shield means such as shield rings are disposed on the high voltage conductor side of the non-linear resistor assemblage at given distances. The use of the ring-like shield means makes more uniform the voltages shared by the respective non-linear resistors. The ring-like shield means may be formed with the configuration and diameter, and the number of them used being properly selected.
