Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a glow switch starter comprising a glass discharge vessel which is sealed in a gastight manner and is provided with an ionizable medium, a pair of electrical conductors which are passed through a wall of the discharge vessel, a bimetallic element conductively connected to one of the electrical conductors, and a getter. According to the invention, the getter comprises an alloy of zirconium and palladium to which oxygen is bonded. It is achieved thereby that the glow switch starter ignites a discharge lamp comparatively quickly also when no or only a small quantity of radioactive material has been provided in the discharge vessel. <IMAGE>
