Spark Gaps
     

    Triggered Three Terminal               Self Breakdown Two Terminal

  Triggered Three Terminal 

 

Notes for both:
1. Optimum operation voltages is typically 60 to 80% of SBV
2. Operation below minimum value may result in erratic firing with life.
3. Operation above maximum value may result in self-firing with life.
4. Represents minimum main gap breakdown with no trigger applied.
5. Value shown contains safety factor for end of life requirements.
6. ZE/TM/300/600 can be used to fire suitable gap. (TM = Trigger Module).
7. Trigger Transformers are available in several models - refer to transformer list.
8. All gaps can be operated in air at normal temperature without any other insulation.
9. Other values can be manufactured. Please inquire.
10. Max. peak current is the max. that particular range can handle. It does not mean that all spark gaps are in a position to deliver the peak current continuously.
11. Most devices are typically designed for 10 kA.
