vides adequate protection in localities
where there are
no electric
light or power circuits.
The No. 60-AP protector (see
figure 9) is of the
openspace
cut-out type. It consistsof a baseand cover,
mounting 4 protector blocks. Two of the protector
blocks are of carbon and are assemblednearest
the center
of the protectbr. The other two protector blocks consist
of carbon inserts mounted in porcelain in such a manner
that they are slightly depressedbelow the surface of the
porcelain
on the side adjacent to the plain carbon
block,
thus forming the open spaceacross which high potential
currents may escape to the ground. The porcelain
blocks containing the carbon inserts are placed outside
the other blocks with the springs resting in the grooves
(see
figure 9).
If there is danger from power and light circuits as
well as from lightning, the No. 58-AP protector or the
No. 58-B protector, which contain fuses
in addition to
the openspace cut-outs,
should
be used. The No. 58-AP
protectbr uses the same type of protector blocks as the
No. 60-AP protector. The No. 58-B protector employs
four metal blocks, two of which are grooved and are
assembledoutside of the other blocks, with the springs
,
resting in the grooves. A specially prepared piece of
mica, known as a No. 10 protector mica is assembled
betweeneach.
pair of metal blocks.
