Big tube - what is it?
I have a huge tube warning for X-rays, 300 mm high, 80 mm diameter. The tube is in it's original box. Can anyone tell me something?

Think of it as a very robust thyristor.

It is a switch.
The hydrogen gas allows ionization to occur easier. It is non linear. It is used for things like pulsed radar. Also, as a crowbar, for cases when relays cannot open fast enough, this is triggered to shunt the voltage. It remains latched till the current goes below a holding current. It's like an SCR. It has x-ray warnings because the voltage it can handle is sufficient that the electrons cause emission when they hit the anode.. Cheers, John |
