[Boatanchors] data needed on rectifier

Mon, 25 Aug 2003 10:38:27 -0400

Don't know about Eimac specifically, but there were other manufacturers 
of this type number.  Note that this is a 40kV PIV rating mercury vapor 
rectifier.  Beware of X-ray generation inside this tube if you are 
operating with voltages above about 15 kV.  If so, you will need steel 
shielding around the tube.  Here are some web links where this type is 
mentioned:
