Includes

  • New HY-3013 low-inductance thyratron

EG&G's hydrogen and deuterium-filled thyratrons are high voltage, high current switch tubes that utilize ceramic-metal construction for small size and extended life. Operation at peak anode voltages as high as 125 kV is possible with some types; peak anode current ratings range from 100 A to 40 kA. Applications include radar modulators, accelerators, and pulsed gas lasers.

  • Peak Forward Anode Voltage When Tube is Operated in Oil or Insulating Gas to Prevent External Breakdown (Between Flanges) in Air. For operation in air, epy must be appropriately reduced.

  • Peak Forward Anode Voltage (Resonant or Command Pulse Charging on Millisecond Time Scales). Higher epy is generally attainable with command charging on microsecond time scales; resistive charging significantly degrades the attainable epy.

  • Peak Forward Anode Current (5-Microsecond Pulse). For sub-microsecond pulse widths at pulse repetition rates below 1000 Hz, several times the rated ib can usually be reliably attained. For long pulses, ib must be substantially reduced.

  • Average Anode Current. For rectangular current pulses at a fixed pulse repetition rate, Ib equals the product of ib, the pulse width, and the pulse repetition rate, prr.

  • RMS Anode Current. For rectangular current pulses at a fixed pulse repetition rate, Ip = SQRT(iblb)

  • Plate Breakdown Factor (Indicator of Anode Dissipation for Low Rates of Anode Current Rise). Pb = epy x ib x prr.

  • Peak Forward Grid Voltage (Measured at Socket with Tube Removed).

  • Effective Output Impedance of Grid Driver (Includes any Protective "De-Spikers"). In general, the lowest Zg in conjunction with high egy will provide the shortest anode delay and the minimum delay time jitter.
