A spark gap arrangement comprises a triggerable spark gap (TF) and a trigger circuit (TRG), which comprises a first and a second charge storage device (C1, C2), a first resistor (R1), a triggerable discharge element (SF, SF3, TD, TH) and a transformer (T1). The trigger circuit is designed to temporarily store the energy of an input pulse supplied on the input side to the trigger circuit (TRG), storage being carried out at least by the first energy storage device (C1). One part of the stored energy is transferred to the second charge storage device (C2) via the first resistor (R1). The triggerable discharge element (SF, TD, TH) is designed to become conductive, in accordance with a voltage, through the second charge storage device (C2) and to discharge the first charge storage device (C1) via a primary side (T11) of the transformer (T1). A secondary side (T12) of the transformer (T1) is connected to a main electrode (HE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF) and to a trigger electrode (TE) of the triggerable spark gap (TF). |
