ABSTRACT A surge arrester is provided including highly non-linear metal oxide varistor disks in series with one or more resistively graded gap assemblies. The gap assemblies comprise a low exponent, non-linear silicon carbide resistive material in parallel with a spark gap. In this combination, the arrester voltage is shared between the gap assemblies and the MOV disks at normal steady-state system voltages. The arrester provides substantial improvements in temporary overvoltage performance and protection levels over conventional gapless MOV arrester designs.
