<p>A high voltage gap discharge switch is provided with a pair of sphere electrodes 1, projections 2 and a blower 5. The sphere electrodes 1 are separated by a discharge gap and oppose each other. The projections 2 are provided integrally at the mutually facing tips of the sphere electrodes 1, and have a projection length of 1/100 to 1/8 times the diameter of the sphere electrodes 1 and an outer diameter of 1/100 to 1/10 times. The blower 5 gives rise to an air current for expelling products produced on the projections 2 due to the generation of a spark discharge. The blower 5 supplies air to the discharge gap at a wind speed of 0.5 to 25 m/sec.-KW. One objective of the present invention is to stabilize the wave-form of a high voltage pulse and to increase its durability using a simple construction. <IMAGE></p> |
