Patent ·
OSTI ID:4166101
A high-voltage high-current spark gap switch is presented. The switch is composed of a planar electrode having a plurality of protuberances of convex shape on the surface. A firing electrode is insulatingly supported in each of the electrode protuberances and extends to the apex. A dielectric plate is supported parallel to the electrode, and the plate has a plurality of individual electrodes. Each of the individual electrodes is arranged in opposition to one of the protuberances. Terminal connecting means are affixed to the electrode and to each of the individual electrodes. (W.L.H.)
