Thallium and xenon filled thyratron was developed that operates at tube envelope temperatures up to 750 C. This tube performs at peak voltage ratings of 2000 V forward and reverse and at an average current rating of 15 A for up to 11,000 hours.
Thyratron, capable of being operated as a rectifier and a voltage-reference tube, was constructed and tested for 1000 hours at temperatures to 800 degrees C. With current levels at 15 amps and peak voltages of 2000 volts and frequencies at 6000 cps, tube efficiency was greater than 97 percent.
