Spark Gaps and Accessories
Spark gaps are high-energy, voltage-controlled switching devices that are unique in their ability to repeatedly switch currents of thousands of amperes.
They are commonly used as protection where high-energy transient electrical surges are anticipated, such as voltage protection, lightning protection and crowbar circuits. They are also used to power the lithotripters used to treat kidney stones.
