Abstract
A hollow electrode switch contains at least two electrodes, which form a discharge gap for a low-pressure gas discharge and with which a hollow or cavity electrode is associated. A space charge generator, in particular a glow discharge, is provided inside the hollow electrode. This hollow electrode is intended as anode for the space charge and is electrically insulated from the electrodes. Thus one obtains an especially simple design form of the hollow electrode switch which has short switching delay and little jitter as operating characteristics.
