Resistors have successfully replaced corona point discharge devices in the control of high voltage gradients, such as those experienced in electrostatic accelerators. Improved resistor for such applications has a single elongate resistive element, one end of which is mounted on a metal clamp. The other (free) end of the resistor is unsupported, but carries a tubular capacitive electrode, which provides a spark gap.
