The present invention relates to a electrode assembly and related method that includes a insulator assembly, an electrode assembly, a charging system, a mechanism for measuring electrical voltages, a mechanism for adjusting the distance between inner and outer electrode tips, and a controller. The insulator assembly includes an insulator body having a hollow central portion with a threaded inner wall. The insulator assembly includes inner and outer conductors that are electrically connected to the charging system and are physically connected to inner and outer electrodes, respectively. The electrodes are positioned such that their longitudinal axes are aligned and the tips of the electrodes are in relatively close physical proximity. The distance between the tips is defined as the spark gap. The charging system charges a capacitor that discharges and forms a spark across the spark gap. The electrical measuring mechanism measures the discharge voltage of the capacitor and the controller compares it to a reference voltage, issuing a correction signal to the adjusting mechanism that repositions the electrodes, thus optimizing the spark gap. An alternate embodiment analyzes the charge and discharge characteristics of an electrode assembly that utilizes a second capacitor and an inductor to adjust the spark gap.
