Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1830369A1] The device has a varistor (4) e.g. metal-oxide varistor, arranged within a housing (3) and including two poles (9, 10) and two faces (5, 6) from which the poles extend. A position maintaining unit maintains the varistor in position within the housing. The maintaining unit extends between an end towards which the unit is connected to a case (2) and another end towards which the unit is attached to the varistor. The unit is integrated to the pole (9) and extends, between the ends, outside a free space (18) situated to the right of each face. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a varistor disposed within a housing of an electrical installation protecting device (2) a method of manufacturing an electrical installation protecting device (3) a method of manufacturing a varistor disposed with a housing of an electrical installation protecting device.
