  • The'present invention relates to an electrolytic lightning arrester and the object thereof is to overcome certain disadvantages moment when the film is perforated on one.
  • the desired result is obtained by the employ ment of conducting elements or members whch I are in contact with one another, forming a chain the ends of which are connected with the terminals of the apparatus, these elements being placed in a. liquid which forms an insulating film when the chain is submitted to a difierence of potential.
  • the tension. between the neighboring elements may be reduced at will and. a chain of great length and formed of a. large number of elmenls may be placed in a small space.

  • the lightning a rrester represented in Fig. 1 comprises a tube a of insulating material, such for example as glass, which contains distilled water I) or other material. and in which is a chain c. for instance, of aluminium, the links of the chain being of any desiredfo'rm. Ii? a voltage is applied to the ends of the chain, an insulating film is formed on the links which prevents the passage of current through the apparatus. In the case of a sudden excess voltage being applied the film is temporarily broken and permits a current to pass through the ap paratus, momentarily, and then'the film is reformed preventing apermanent short circuit through the apparatus.
  • rings of, made for instance of aluminum, are strong on an insulating tube 2 between an end piece 7" and a ring 7 made of conducting material.
  • The. end piece f is supported by aconducting shaft which is placed in. the tube a.
