The GXG Series of triggered 3-electrode spark gaps are gas discharge tubes, hermetically sealed in a ceramic/metal envelope. Tubes with a DC hold-off voltage in the standard range 15 to 50 kV are available. This is signified by numerals following the type letters, expressed in hundreds of volts, e.g.
GXG350L has a 35 kV DC hold-off voltage capability.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
