ABSTRACT:
A triggered spark gap suitable for use with high levels of voltage and current over long periods of time generally comprising support means, a pair of insulated main electrodes disposed opposite each other on the support means so as to form a gap therebetween, first electrical means associated with the main electrodes for creating a potential difference therebetween, at least one trigger electrode defining a region having a cross-sectional thickness to width ratio greater than one, said trigger electrodes being mounted on the support means such that said region is disposed in the gap between the main electrodes, and second electrical means connecting the trigger electrode to a source of triggering and biasing potential.
