(a) including transients
(b) with a max screen voltage of 400V and when no transients are present a max DC anode voltage of 4500V may be applied.
(c) series resistance must be inserted in the power supply to limit the DC short-circuit current to less than 500mA
(d) total pulse length in any 240µs period shall not exceed 12µs
(e) measured at Va=600VDC, Vg2=300VDC, Rk=825 ohms
The valve needs to be mounted vertically
