* Generated by LTspice 26.0.1 for Windows.
* Simple Spark Gap
* .options plotwinsize=0
* REM2: 2nd if(..) can be ommitted,\nbut then it may 'forget' to switch off\nat very low Isust settings and when\ngoing through zero.\n(this is due to time step resolution)
* REM1: this model could be reduced to\n3 components using ABS(..) statements,\nbut then the effect mentionend in REM2\nwill show up.
* Ron was not included in the switch model due to voltage polarity change\nand convergence problem when operated\nwith a capacitor across the spark gap.
