Abstract
High-power untriggered spark gaps intended for operation at a voltage of up to 150 kV and a current of 10 kA have a service life of up to 10(11) pulse s. The spark gaps ensure switching to a load for 5-20 ns with a pulse repet ition rate of up to 400 Hz. They operate under atmospheric pressure without blowing-through in an installation for decontaminating processing of produ cts with high-voltage pulses.
