201. [Amps] filament instant heating query (score: 1)
Author: John Lyles <jtml@losalamos.com>

The mechanical expansion of a cold filament is the function that weakens them. I suppose this means molecular level... Some examples: As Jim Thompson said, thoriated tungsten cold R is much lower tha

Some large power tetrodes and triodes require DC due to the risk of vibration of the large filaments at 120 Hz. AC filaments are pleasant to deal with as usually a center tap on the filament transfor

I am curious - do MRI still use tubes or are they mostly solid state power-amplified now? Most of the elemental analysis (still-called NMR) use VHF SS PAs. I like the 8877/3CX1500A7. Its a great trio

David, you are correct, should be 200 mA for the starting plate current for that column. I have used a 3D printed plastic part as an air shroud around the screen contact ring on the TH628, operating

Several things could explain what is described: 1) The RF oscillator in the preheater is free-running. It is affected by the dielectric in the air capacitor zone. In addition, it is coupled such that

No they are not. MRF151G is still popular especially, several sources. They are also used in many broadcast television amplifiers, so they won't be gone soon. In new designs, choose 50 V and use a 48
