DESCRIPTION
Thyratrons are fast acting high voltage switches suitable for a variety of applications including radar, laser and scientific use. PerkinElmer’s thyratrons are constructed of ceramic and metal for strength and long life. Over 300 thyratron types are available from PerkinElmer. We encourage inquiries for thyratrons to suit your particular application.FEATURES
● Wide operating voltage range● High pulse rate capability
● Ceramic-metal construction
● High current capability
● Long life . How a Thyratron works The operation of the device can be divided into three phases: triggering and commutation (closure), steady-state conduction, and recovery (opening), each of which is discussed below. The time interval between trigger breakdown of the grid-cathode region and complete closure of the thyratron is called the anode delay time. It is typically 100-200 nanoseconds for most tube types. During commutation, a high voltage spike appears at the grid of the thyratron. This spike happens in the time it takes for the plasma in the grid-anode space to "connect" to the plasma in the gridcathode space.
