Typical Operation
| Mode | Plate V | Gm (µmhos) | Rp (Ω) | µ | Plate mA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bi-phase half-wave (2 valves) | 12500 V | — | — | — | 2250 mA |
| Single-phase full-wave (4 valves) | 25000 V | — | — | — | 2250 mA |
| Three-phase half-wave (3 valves) | 19000 V | — | — | — |
Application Notes
Valve must be vertically mounted and supported by its water jacket. Cooling supplies must be started before application of supply voltages. Peak inverse voltage application above 20 kV requires gradual increase or two-position switching.
