Electrical and physical properties:

All grades given in this data sheet are solutes, not simultaneous grades. The responsibility of the equipment designer is to ensure that they are not exceeded. Spark gap life depends on circuit conditions, such as peak discharge current and duration, charge transfer per discharge and repetition rate.
