ABSTRACT:
A spark gap point and spark gap assembly for a welding-type device are disclosed for igniting and stabilizing a welding-type arc. A double-headed spark gap point having spark gap surfaces on two ends is incorporated into a spark gap assembly with a pair of single-headed spark gap points that each have only a single spark gap surface. All spark gap points are arranged coaxially on a base so that each spark gap surface faces another spark gap surface. A spark gap is created between each set of opposing spark gap surfaces. When a high voltage is applied across the spark gap points, sparks periodically arc across the spark gaps, creating a high frequency, high voltage signal usable to ignite or stabilize a welding-type arc.
