Description

The ML-8795 and ML-8796 are high-power, general-pur- When operated as class C amplifiers or oscillators, these pose triodes. The ML-8795 is water cooled and the ML-8796 tubes will produce a continuous output of up to 240 kW. The same. The cathodes of these tubes consist of sturdy thoriated- can be operated in air at maximum plate voltage ratings. Maxi- tungsten filaments. The coaxial terminals have low inductance mum ratings apply at frequencies up to 30 MHz; useful and high heat dissipation capability. Low-loss alumina ce- power output can be obtained at higher frequencies with a ramics are used for all envelope insulation members. reduction in plate volrage.
