Patent ID: 8922968

Claim:
A surge arrester arrangement comprising a surge arrester attached to an electrical insulator, the insulator comprising: a first connector of an electrically conducting material, said first connector being configured to be attached to a first object at a first end of the electrical insulator; a second connector of an electrically conducting material, said second connector being configured to be attached to a second object, comprised in the surge arrester, at a second end of the electrical insulator, whereby said second object is connected to, and electrically insulated from, the first object by means of the electrical insulator, a central longitudinal axis of the electrical insulator being defined through said electrical insulator from the first end of the electrical insulator to the second end of the electrical insulator; and an electrically insulating material being arranged between the first connector and the second connector, insulating said connectors from each other, and being attached to the first connector and to the second connector such that both the first and second connectors are bound to the insulating material and thereby connected to each other via said insulating material; wherein a part of the first connector extends past a part of the second connector, partly enveloping said part the second connector such that a second axis which is parallel to the central longitudinal axis and extends through the electrical insulator from the first end of the electrical insulator to the second end of the electrical insulator intersects the enveloping part of the first connector after having intersected the enveloped part of the second connector; and wherein the insulating material comprises an inner insulating material being arranged between the first connector and the second connector and an outer insulating material arranged around the connectors, and the inner insulating material is a different material than the outer insulating material.
