Zusammenfassung:An elongate high voltage insulator ( 2 ) is formed of a rod or tube ( 4 ) of insulating material, with a pair of electrodes ( 6 ) spaced apart longitudinally thereof. At least part, and preferably the whole of the outer surface of the insulating material ( 4 ) is covered by a layer of material ( 8 ) comprising a particulate filler of varistor powder in a matrix having a switching electrical stress-controlling characteristic that is in electrical contact with each of the electrodes ( 6 ). The insulator core ( 4 ) may be made of porcelain, and the stress-controlling material ( 8 ) may comprise zinc oxide.
