Hydrogen Thyratrons in Pulse Generator Circuits

Abstract

Data are presented on the operating characteristics of hydrogen thyratrons in line-type pulse generator circuits. The rate of fall of anode voltage, rate of rise of anode current, and tube drop are presented. In addition to the operating anode voltage and current, and the most important parameter governing tube dissipation is gas pressure. This is demonstrated both calorimetrically and by V-I plot. Because of the great number of possible variables that govern tube dissipation, most of them uncontrollable, it is impossible to reproduce data with any degree of accuracy.
