GL,

Have you built and tested this?

Does the 100k resistor get warm?

No, I have not built and tested this circuit. But I see no reason for it not to work.
If the resistor gets warm then he must use a higher wattage resistor. The resistor
value (Ohm) may also be changed in a practical circuit build. This was the simplest
circuit I could think of, avoiding transistors, mosfets, thyristors etc. At 2000 Volt DC
a very narrow band spark gap may also work, thus eliminating the transient protector.
This circuit has so few components that it may be worth a try.

Great! Many thanks GL !!!

will put the circuit together and give it a try!!
