First Claim
Patent Images
1. A controlled switching spark gap comprising:
- a common base frame;
a plurality of series-connected stages carried on the base frame and each havingan individual spark gap,a resistor for potential control connected in parallel to the respective individual gap, andrespective capacitors connected in parallel with the individual spark gaps;
a respective auxiliary electrode connected to one of the individual spark gaps for external triggering;
an additional damping unit carried on the frame, upstream or downstream of and in series with one of the stages, and comprised of a series-connected compensating resistor and compensating inductor, and a spark gap connected in parallel to the compensating resistor and inductor;
a voltage divider on the base frame; and
a single common head electrode for the damping unit and switching spark gap on the base frame.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a controlled truncating radio connection for a high-voltage impulse test system, preferably for quality assurance of power transformers. According to the invention, the truncating radio connection is expanded by an additional damping unit, made of a serial damping resistance and a damping inductance having a radio connection connected in parallel thereto, and thereby combines the functionalities of a truncating radio connection and an overshoot compensation in only one auxiliary component.
