Operation of a fast H. V. protection circuit for neutral injectors with two tetrodes in series
Abstract
For the fast protection of high power, high voltage neutral beam injectors, a system consisting of two series high power tetrodes was developed. Over-voltages on one of the tubes were prevented by the use of clipping diodes. These also avoid the need of delicate circuit equilibration. The circuit, detailed tests, and model calculations are described.
