1. In an electrical fluid treating apparatus for treating non-electrolytic fluids, first and second electrode means spaced apart to define at least a portion of a composite electrode structure having an electrical treatment region through which a stream of non-electrolytic fluid is to pass for treatment, insulator means for insulating said first electrode from said second electrode to permit an electrical field to be established between said electrodes in said treatment region, resistive means incorporated in at least one of said electrode means in such a manner that, in the presence of an electrical short between said electrodes through the non-electrolytic fluid to be treated in said treatment region, said resistive means drops the applied potential across said resistive means in a localized portion of said resistive electrode structure such that less than one-tenth of said treatment region is effectively shorted by said electrical short.
