The trigger voltages given in these tables are the minimum triggering voltages necessary for triggering at the corresponding applied voltage limits. As the
applied voltage increases, the trigger voltage required for triggering decreases. It is assumed that the trigger is applied across the trigger and adjacent
main electrodes. Higher trigger voltages are required if it is applied across the trigger and opposite main electrodes.
End point for the life testing is a 20% reduction in the main static breakdown voltage.
The Pulse Energy is the stored energy which the spark gap can dissipate per discharge, during intermittent duty, without permanently changing its
breakdown ratings by more then 10%. The principal effect of excessive pulse energies is rapid electrode erosion and change in breakdown characteristics.
