Base coaxial contact rings are provided for the filament, grid, and screen terminals, and these terminals are cooled with forced air. The maximu anode dissipation rating is 300 kilowatts steady state, with multiphase cooling.
| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
|
The 4CM300,000GA / TH537 / CW1603J2 is a ceramic/metal, multiphase-cooled (water/vapor) power tetrode. This tube has a thoriated tungsten mesh filament and pyrolytic graphite grids which provide high-dissipation combined with low secondary emission characteristics. Base coaxial contact rings are provided for the filament, grid, and screen terminals, and these terminals are cooled with forced air. The maximu anode dissipation rating is 300 kilowatts steady state, with multiphase cooling. |
