Abstract An Arrangement with a Plurality of Surge Arresters In an arrangement with a plurality of surge arresters (1, 11) that are arranged so as to be coaxial and are connected to common conductor rails (5, 20, 22) by connecting lines (4, 17, 18, 19), the first connecting lines (4) extend essentially radially away from the longitudinal axis of each surge arrester (1), in a direction that is away from the position of the exhaust openings (2, 3) on the periphery of the surge arrester (1). Thus, in the event of an arc, the current flowing through the connecting line (4) generates a magnetic field that pushes the arc away from the surge arrester (1). The exhaust openings (2, 3) on each surge arrester (1, 11) are so positioned that the arc is not formed in the area between two adjacent surge arresters (1, 11), and is pushed away from the surge arrester by the components forces of the magnetic field. In addition, the present invention provides that the direction of the current in the connecting lines subtends an angle of less than 90° with the common conductor rails, so that the current in the common conductor rails also contributes to generating the desired magnetic field.
