Abstract :
Development of a three-electrode spark gap, intended for use in synthetic circuits, is considered in this paper. Two types of three-electrode gas insulated spark gaps have been tested: one with the third electrode located inside the main electrode, and the other with a separate third electrode. A theoretical model which enables optimal design of the spark gap has been presented.
