GPV-63 Datasheet, PDF (1/4 Pages) PerkinElmer Optoelectronics – Triggered Vacuum Gaps

The Triggered Vacuum
Spark Gaps are ideal high-voltage
switches for applications where a wide
operating voltage range is desired. The
low end of the operating voltage range
is independent of the Static Breakdown
Voltage (SBV). Operating ranges from
300 volts to 80 kilovolts are possible.
Switching times (from the trigger input
to the start of main gap current flow) of
less than 1 microsecond may be
achieved when using a suitable trigger.
These switches are commonly used in
“crowbar” circuits for protection against
overvoltage conditions.
