The present invention provides a
lightning arrester with a fixed series gap, comprising a first conductive block (10), a first
electrode (21), an insulating member (31), a second conductive block (32), a second
electrode (22), a
nonlinear resistor (33), an end conductor (40), a plurality of support rods (50) and an insulating jacket (60). The first conductive block, the insulating member, the second conductive block, the
nonlinear resistor and the end conductor are stacked in sequence along an
assembly direction (A). The support rod extends along the
assembly direction. One end of the support rod is connected to the first conductive block, and the other end is connected to the end conductor. A plurality of support rods are arranged around the insulating member, the second conductive block and the
nonlinear resistor in a circumferential direction perpendicular to the
assembly direction. The insulating jacket is wrapped around the circumferential outer side of the first conductive block, the insulating member, the second conductive block, the nonlinear
resistor and the end conductor. The support rod is embedded in the insulating jacket. The
lightning arrester with a fixed series gap has a high structural strength.
