Electrical apparatus employing one or more housing segments

The technical field relates to an electrical apparatus, and more particularly to an electrical apparatus, such as a surge arrester, that employs one or more housing segments. An electrical apparatus includes at least one housing segment and at least one MOV disk. The housing segment includes a sheath and defines a bore having a first opening at one end of the housing segment and a second opening at the opposite end of the housing segment. The MOV disk is positioned within the bore. An adhesive is positioned in the bore between the MOV disk and the housing segment and is configured to circumferentially bond the MOV disk to the housing segment.
