 |
This valve measures 355x210 overall and weighs 4.8kg. |
This valve has thoriated tungsten filament. It is a modified version of the CV1583, which itself was based on the E1024/CV1114 or VT114 valve which replaced the silica NT77 in the MB2 mobile ground radar system.
| Filament voltage | 10V |
| Filament current | 70A |
| Max anode dissipation | 500W |
| Max operating frequency | 60MHz |
| Max seal temperature | 140C |
The filament leads required cooling with at least 10 cubic feet of air/minute, and the anode required forced air cooling of at least 85 cubic feet/minute.
The valve was intended to be operated at a constant 70A filament current, with the filament voltage being adjusted between 9.3 and 10.7V.
