A damaged seal-gapped arrester should be handled with care. Due to the increased pressure caused by the destruction of internal elements, a defective arrester may be an explosive hazard. If the decision is made to disassemble a suspect unit, ensure that the chamber is properly vented. Do not simply throw away defective arresters. Any suspect arrester should be vented and discharged before disposal.
