This was a problem I had also. Every time the safety gap fired, it wouldn't  
stop until power was removed. Maybe the safety gap needs to be quenched too.  
Perhaps converting it to an air blast, suction or magnetically quenched gap  
would extinguish it whenever it happened to fire.

like the standard practice of using drawer knob electrodes (?) doesn't  cut it 
in your application!  Have you tried a horn gap?  Sorry, but  I have no 
experience at that power level. >>
