Steve,

- More than 10 V in worst case?

> The robustness and simplicity of a GDT is really hard to beat
- When my half bridge failed, it usually took away the IR2113, the 
suppressors and other parts as well  :-((

- Could you please recommend papers, enabling me to gather more 
insight?

idealize waveforms
- I've learnt already that the waveform at the gate NEVER is an ideal 
rectangle.

Thank you for your patience,
