Abstract
Switching elements (6) each have an electrode gap (15) convertible between electrically insulating and conducting states. The switching element also comprises a laser (16) for causing or initiating the electrode gap arranged to supply energy in the form of radiation to cause the gap to form a plasma. The gap is in an enclosure (20) containing a gas mix combining a high strength to spontaneous breakthrough with a low resistance to radiation induced breakthrough.
