Thus, the OBO spark gap, with Urimp ≤
1. Here, the maximum
voltage drop should smaller than the peak values
of the testing voltage ÛPW. This safety-relevant re-
quirement fulfilled the OBO spark gap.
The AfK recommendation no. Class insulating
flanges have approx. The same
requirements are made the European recommenda-
tion Ceocor (European Committee for the study of
corrosion and protection pipes and pipeline sys-
tems). Interfering earth cur-
rents close parallel high-voltage routes can, for ex-
ample, induce permanent voltages into the
pipeline segments.
When the spark gap has ignited, the pulse current
causes voltage drop via the connection cables
and the spark gap, whereby the connection techno-
logy has the greatest influence. Here, DVGW 24
recommends: 250 Hz.
