Rectifier Typehalf-wave
EnvelopeGlass
SectionsSingle

Filament / Heater

MaterialXenon-filled type
Warm-up Time30s

Typical Operation

ModePlate VGm (µmhos)Rp (Ω)µPlate mA
Single-phase full-wave (2 valves)3500 V———2500 mA
Single-phase bridge (4 valves)7100 V———2500 mA
Three-phase half-wave (3 valves)4100 V———

Application Notes

When quadrature operation is used, the filament voltage (pin 4 with respect to pin 2) should be crossing zero from positive towards negative when the anode voltage is at the peak of the positive half cycle. When quadrature operation is not practicable filament pin 4 should be positive when the anode is positive.
