High Voltage Oxide Coated Vacuum Rectifiers

Abstract

Conventional diode rating methods are discussed and a new rating method based on anode dissipation is proposed. Diode design considerations are surveyed and applied to the development of an oxide-coated cathode diode rated at 20 kv inverse and 100 milliamperes average. Life test data on the Raytheon QK95 are also included.
