Abstract

With the addition of a conductive means in the form of a grounded ring or member placed at the insulator means of a high voltage spark electrode structure, the required break down voltage of the spark gap can be reduced. The conductive means typically would be a ring encircling the insulator means of the electrode structure and would provide a ground as well as a mechanical support near the end of the insulator means of the electrode structure.
