Lightning arrester capacitive grading circuit mounting means
Abstract
Abstract A SURGE VOLTAGE ARRESTER, SUCH AS A LIGHTNING ARRESTER, IS PROVIDED WITH A SPRING-LOADED MOUNTING MEANS FOR RELEASABLY SUPPORTING A PLURALITY OF CAPACITORS IN A SERIES CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT IN WHICH THEY ACT AS A VOLTAGE GRADING CIRCUIT FOR THE SPARKGAP ASSEMBLIES OF THE ARRESTER. THE MOUNTING MEANS INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF SLIDABLY ENGAGEABLE TERMINAL AND CONTACT MEMBERS THAT ARE SHAPED TO COOPERATE WITH RECESSED TERMINALS IN THE GRADING CAPACITORS TO FORM A RELATIVELY RIGID MOUNTING COLUMN THAT IS EFFECTIVE TO SUPPORT THE CAPACITORS IN A PREDETERMINED POSITION ADJACENT THE SPARKGAP ASSEMBLIES OF THE ARRESTER. THE MOUNTING MEANS ARE FURTHER OPERABLE TO PERMIT RE- MOVAL OF ONE OR MORE OF THE CAPACITORS FROM THE SERIESCONNECTED COLUMN WITHOUT REQUIRING DISASSEMBLY OF THE ENTIRE COLUMN.
