GP-485 Mini-Triggered Spark Gaps and Transformers

P erkinElmer’s Mini-Triggered Mini-Triggered Spark Gaps and Transformers EVERYTHING IN A NEW LIGHT. Spark Gaps are designed for high reliability switching up to 4 kV and 10 kA. Constructed of hermetically sealed ceramic-metal, filled with pressurized gas, they are typically used for activating electro-explosive devices such as exploding bridgewires, elec.

• Matching trigger transformers PerkinElmer Optoelectronics page 3 Miniature Triggered Spark Gaps The triggered spark gap is a three element, gas-filled, ceramic-to-metal, hermetically sealed, pressurized switch that operates in an arc discharge mode, conducting moderately high peak currents for short durations. Commutation between two main electrodes is initiated by a trigger pulse. These compact small, rugged gaps were designed for high-reliability applications where size, switch speed, and ability to withst.
