ABSTRACT:
The spark gap device disclosed herein comprises at least two sets of electrodes enclosed within a common chamber. A delay line is connected between successive sets of electrodes. An arc which develops across the first set of electrodes as a result of a voltage transient ionizes the gas in the chamber. The voltage transient is delayed by the time required to travel through the delay line. When the voltage transient arrives at the second set of electrodes, an arc develops in less time than was required at the first set of electrodes due to the fact that the gas in the chamber has been at least partially ionized.
