Hi Steve, Polyphaser's various types of lightning/surge in-coax line devices , in part, incorporate a filter circuit . These circuits are freqcy sensitive thus using an outside spec freqcy applicatio
Polyphaser has used gas tubes in their coax protection devices from day one. The reason for the series capacitor is to allow the gas tube to fire before enough energy is passed into the circuit follo
The actual gas tube (or vacuum gap, such as the Victoreen or Philips ones used commonly) fires pretty fast (nanoseconds, certainly less than microseconds), although it's rise time and voltage depende
Seems as if I remember Polyphaser advertising they were solid state. The ones I've had fail were all solid state with a tiny solid state device inside. No spark gap and no discharge tube that I could
