The invention discloses a gas injection type parallel gap device. The protection device belongs to the field of lightening protection gap for 
power transmission lines of alternating-current and direct-
current electric power systems. The device is connected with the two ends of a 
power transmission line insulator chain in parallel, under a lightening 
stroke, the device is broken down before the insulator chain can be broken down, and thus the insulator chain and the corresponding 
power transmission line can be protected; moreover, a high-speed high-
voltage gas flow can be generated fast and acts on arcs to restrain formation and development of the arcs, the arcs are extinguished in a 
transient state, and thus the 
lightning trip-out rate and the lightening accident rate of an 
electric power system are reduced. The gas injection type parallel gap device comprises arc-control devices on the grounding side and the wire side, fixing devices and parallel spiral fittings installed at the two ends of the insulator 
train of the line. The arc-control device on the grounding side and the arc-control device on the wire side respectively comprise an arc extinguishing 
powder storage chamber, an arc air-termination ring, an insulating gas generation chamber, an 
arc spray channel and the like. With the device, the stability of the 
electric power system is improved, the on-load action frequency of a breaker is effectively reduced, the service life of 
electric power equipment such as a 
transformer is prolonged, and production, operation and maintenance cost is very low.
