I'm running a server at home. I've looked but I can't find these spark gap protectors! the one that I found had a amazingly unaffordable high price. So I'm thinking of making my own spark gap protector to be installed at my wall outlet before the PC (server).
Since we are dealing with lightning I'm thinking of placing the things that handle the spark inside an air tight glass bottle. The spark handling part would a be a simple mechanism, the Live and Neutral wires will placed with in <1mm of the ground wire (or even closer). Will the O2 inside the bottle be enough to handle a spark or will O2 cause problems, is O2 conductive enough? The Bottle containing the spark gap would be placed behind a breaker and 6A fuse. The contacts of the spark gap will be three iron rods (Live -> Ground <- Neutral).
Please help. Or may be I asked the electrical shop wrong. Is there some kind of model number or what I should be looking for? Btw this is for a AC 230V power line.
Please Help
