Claim 14:
15. An apparatus for producing a surge arrestor module, comprising:
an outer case structure having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a hollow region, the outer case structure including a port that provides access to the hollow region;
a flexible bladder located within the hollow region, the flexible bladder being sized and configured to receive the surge-arrestor stack, the surge arrestor stack having a plurality of MOV blocks and a layer of epoxy-reinforced structural material on exterior surfaces of the plurality of MOV blocks; and
a pressure source for delivering pressurized air into the hollow region of the outer case structure via the port, the pressurized air forcing the flexible bladder to compress against the surge-arrestor stack while the epoxy-reinforced structural material cures.
