    Abstract: An arrangement (1) for an overvoltage protection of a subsea electrical apparatus and a method for operating it. The arrangement (1) comprises a tank (3) submersible below a water surface level, an electrical apparatus accommodated in the tank (3), and a surge arrester arrangement (6) accommodated in the tank (3) and coupled to a power supply of the electrical apparatus in the tank (3) for providing the overvoltage protection of the electrical apparatus. The arrangement (1) further comprises a controllable grounding switch (7) for connecting the surge arrester arrangement (6) to a ground point (GP) in response to a control of the grounding switch (7) to a closed state and for disconnecting the surge arrester arrangement (6) from the ground point (GP) in response to a control of the grounding switch (7) to an open state.
