Abstract
Device for generating a dielectrically hampered discharge (19, consisting of a gas-filled discharge chamber (2) between two electrodes (3, 4) to which an ignition voltage can be applied, the electrodes of which are at least separated by a dielectric (5) from the discharge chamber (2). In order to achieve the most homogeneous possible formation of the main discharge in the discharge chamber (2), the device is formed so that at least one electrode (3) is a voltage-excited plasma in a gas whose pressure is normally much lower than the gas pressure in the discharge chamber (2).
