Curves are given showing the working range and time-lag characteristics of a trigatron spark-gap working in air at voltages up to 1 MV. It is shown that, for voltages of this magnitude, a single-stage trigatron spark-gap of suitable design provides a simple and convenient method of chopping the voltage at any required instant. Factors which affect the performance of the gap are discussed.
