The invention relates to a flat plate gap arrester based on superposition of short-arc drop and near-
cathode effect, including an insulating mandrel, several flat plate 
discharge electrodes axially threaded on the insulating mandrel, a fixing seat installed at the low-
voltage end of the insulating mandrel, an insert  The low-
voltage electrode in the fixing seat and the main gap 
discharge electrode arranged at the high-
voltage end of the insulating mandrel, and the 
silicone rubber 
vulcanization process used to fix the insulating mandrel, a plurality of the flat 
discharge electrodes, the fixing seat and  The 
silicone rubber outer sheath of the main gap discharge 
electrode, wherein, several of the flat plate discharge electrodes are arranged uniformly and in parallel.  
Zinc oxide-free resistors, green and 
environmentally friendly, overcome the failure of 
zinc oxide resistors and the defects of 
moisture; the arc extinguishing mechanism is composed of three parts: near-
cathode effect superposition, near-pole 
voltage drop superposition, and chamber blowing arc, which can effectively reduce overhead lines due to  The arc establishment rate caused by 
lightning strikes can effectively reduce the line 
lightning tripping rate under extreme working conditions such as heavy minefields and harsh wet environments.
