2) In ionized mode
3) Test according to ITU-T Rec. K.12
4) Tip or ring electrode to center electrode
5) Total current through center electrode, half value through
tip respectively ring electrode.
Terms in accordance with ITU-T Rec. K.12 and DIN 57845/VDE0845
Arrester fail safe works at temperatures > 260 °C. The arrester has to be
