ABSTRACT:
A series circuit of a gap section and a valve block is connected between a transmission line and the ground. The valve block consists of a plurality of nonlinear resistor elements connected in series. A first impedance circuit consisting of a resistor and a capacitor connected in series is connected in parallel to the gap section. Also, a second impedance circuit consisting of another resistor and another capacitor connected in parallel is connected in parallel to the valve block. The ratio of the voltage applied across the gap section to that applied across the valve block is determined by the ratio of the impedance of the first impedance circuit to that of the second impedance circuit. A pair of discharge electrodes included in the gap section, which are a prescribed distance apart from each other, comprise a narrower gap region at which spark is started.
