Zusammenfassung:SURGE ARRESTER DISCHARGE COUNTING APPARATUS To record significant discharges of a surge arrester, the energy dissipated in a separate varistor element equivalent to the varistor elements in the arrester and connected in the arrester discharge path is monitored. When an arrester discharge results in a temperature increase above a predetermined minimum in the separate varistor element, heat sensing means thermally coupled therewith triggers a counter to record the event.
