ABSTRACT:
A spark gap apparatus triggerable by application of a microwave pulse. The apparatus includes a first electrode including a microwave waveguide, and a second electrode spaced from the first electrode. A microwave generator is connected to supply microwave pulses to the waveguide. A main current circuit to be switched is connected to the electrodes. The first and second electrodes include components for causing the simultaneous existence of a number of spark channels therebetween in response to coupling of a microwave pulse to the waveguide so that coupling of the pulse to the waveguide results in switching of the main current circuit. A method of using the spark gap apparatus is also disclosed.
