816

816 has no equivalent designation confirmed by the archive.

Construction

The 816 is a half-wave mercury-vapor rectifier tube.

Ratings

The 816 has a maximum peak inverse anode voltage of 7500 volts. Its maximum peak anode current is 500 milliamperes, and its maximum average anode current is 125 milliamperes, averaged over any interval of 30 seconds maximum. The maximum fault anode current is 5 amperes for a duration of 0.1 second maximum.

Operating Conditions

The 816 is intended for use with a supply frequency of 60 cps. The datasheet specifies a condensed-mercury temperature range of 20 to 60 degrees C for achieving the maximum peak inverse anode voltage of 7500 volts.

Installation Notes

The 816 requires shields and rf filter circuits if subjected to extraneous high-frequency fields during operation.
