thyratron?

Original Burnedfingers · 6th April 2006, 10:43 AM

How can I use a thyration? To be specific, a CRC 2050.

Probably in a magamp (magnetic amplifier with AM) instead of diodes for driving high power ESLs or plasma speakers.

I also have those ER21A that I can't find a use...

They make great rectifier diodes. Similar to mercury rectifiers, but some people say they work even better.

Connect the grid to the plate through a resistor of a few hundred ohms to get them to start but limit grid current.

Or add a phasing network and make a voltage adjustable power supply.
