Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0274980A2] Even ignition coatings, ignition surfaces or ignition lines applied without making contact to gas discharge surge arrestors until now had a resistance value which was inadequately defined and was furthermore subject to a large variance. Considerable scatter of the response voltages could thus arise. The new gas discharge surge arrestor is intended to have a reduced tolerance region of the response voltages as a result of the characteristics of the ignition line or lines. A gas discharge surge arrestor contains one or more ignition lines (3), without additives and impurities, with a relatively narrow resistance tolerance and a defined nominal resistance, whose tolerance region amounts to half a tenth power in a logarithmic scale. Each ignition line (3) is produced by contact-free dusting with carbon particles and makes contact with the electrodes over the full width. This results in a reduction in the scatter of the response voltage. The invention is particularly suitable for gas discharge surge arrestors with glass housings. <IMAGE>
