Abstract
The invention relates to a glow-discharge starter (10) having a bimetallic electrode (11) and a rare gas. According to the invention the glow-discharge starter also comprises a reversible getter (13) which, when the temperature increases, gives off a gas and, when the temperature decreases, absorbs the gas and the value of the gas pressure also determines the electric conductivity of the glow-discharge starter. A glow-discharge starter is thereby obtained in which undesired breakdown of the glow-discharge starter can be prevented by controlling the gettering temperature.
