Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0337192A1] The gas discharge switch contains at least two coaxial electrodes (2, 3) which are provided with coaxial holes (5, 6) and form a gas discharge path (10) in a central discharge region (11) and an insulation region (13) at their edges. According to the invention, the spacing D of the electrodes (2, 3) in the discharge region (11) is greater than the spacing d1 of the electrodes (2, 3) in the insulation region (13) in the axial direction of the electrodes (2, 3) on the inner edge of an annular-disc-shaped insulator (16) in which the electrodes (2, 3) are in each case connected to one of the flat sides of the insulator (16), and this spacing d1 is at least as large as the spacing d2 between the electrodes (2, 3) in a screening region (12), formed between the insulation region (13) (lacuna), in which means for screening the insulator (16) are provided. <IMAGE>
