  • Spark gap configuration for providing overvoltage protection
    Patent number: 9118168
    Abstract: In order to provide a spark gap configuration for overvoltage protection, the spark gap configuration has electrodes that face each other and exhibit a short deionization time. The electrodes have, on at least a portion thereof, a current-path bounding device for forcing a desired current path in the electrodes themselves resulting in improved spark behavior.
    Type: Grant
