Thisarrester was designed for use on voltages from 100 to1500 either in generating stations or on railwayequipment. It is made in two forms, one for car andstation service, the other for line mounting. The first consists of a con-denser in parallelwith a resistor andboth in series witha spark gap betweenline and second consistsof the condenseralone without seriesgap or shunt resist-ance. Thecondenseris of the flatplate form, but has been modified and im-proved from the ordinary type by the use of a new insu-lating wax of much higher dielectric strength thanparaffin.
