O 12 W vitreous enamelled wirewound resistors.
R2
=
5 to 20 M
O high voltage resistors with a power rating consistent with forward anode voltage.
R3
=
Grid 2 series resistor. 12 W vitreous enamelled wirewound is recommended, of an impedance to match the grid 2 drive
pulse circuit.
R4
=
Grid 1 series resistor. 12 W vitreous enamelled wirewound is recommended, of an impedance to match the grid 1 drive
pulse circuit.
C1
=
500 pF capacitors with a voltage rating equal to the peak forward voltage. These capacitors may be required to
balance the voltages across each gap if the anode voltage rises in less than 5 ms.
C2,C3 =
Reservoir protection capacitors with a voltage rating
5500 V;
C2 =
1000 pF low inductance (e.g. ceramic),
C3 =1 mF (e.g. polycarbonate or polypropylene).
Components R3,R4,C2, and C3 should be mounted as close to the tube as possible.
