Typical Operation
| Mode | Plate V | Gm (µmhos) | Rp (Ω) | µ | Plate mA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bi-phase half-wave (2 valves) | 16000 V | — | — | — | 11000 mA |
| Single-phase full-wave (4 valves) | 32000 V | — | — | — | 11000 mA |
| Three-phase half-wave (3 valves) | 24000 V | — | — | — |
Application Notes
The cooling supply must be started before the application of any voltages. Water flow to the anode must not be less than 5 gallons per minute. Output should not be controlled by varying filament voltage. Rigid connection must be made to the anode only.
