Notes:
1. Peak inverse anode voltage (include peak) must not exceed 10KV within 25 μs after impulse
current discharge finished, otherwise it will damage the grid and cause spark inside the tube and
shorten the working life.
2. This rate of rise refers to that part of the leading edge of the pulse between 26% and 70% of the
pulse amplitude.
3. Under single narrow pulse working condition, rate of rise of the current can exceed 100kA/μs,
finally value greatly depend on the external circuit.
4. Maximum operating frequency depends on the external charge and discharge circuit, generally
operating frequency exceed 50Hz. Command charge circuit is recommended to ensure the
thyratron is under favorable working voltage.
5. The tube must be mounted by means of its cathode mounting flange. The preferred installation
direction is axial vertical installation with anode upward, axial horizontal installation is also allowed,
but had better not use axial vertical installation method with anode adown.
6. Air flow is no less than 7.1m3
/min. The temperature of the envelope must not exceed the value
specified below:
Ceramic, anode and grids…………………………………….……………150℃
Cathode mounting flange and base……………………………………120℃
