Abstract

721,766. Valve circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Oct. 10, 1952 [Feb. 21, 1952], No. 4639/52. Class 40 (6). An automatic protection circuit for a large high powered transmitter valve comprises a rectifier tube connected across the valve, a first resistance connected in series with the cathode of the valve and which on the occurrence of a flashover in the valve supplies a bias to the rectifier such to render it conducting and a condenser connected in series with a resistor across the rectifier, the resistor being connected to a device which rapidly cuts-off the H.T. supply when the voltage across the latter resistor rises. In the circuit shown, excessive current in the transmitting valve V2 causes the voltage across cathode resistor R5 to be sufficient to fire the discharge tube VI. A capacitor C1 which may be the smoothing capacitor of the H.T. supply unit discharges through the discharge tube producing sufficient voltage across a resistor R1 to cause a device associated with the supply rectifier to rapidly interrupt the H.T. supply. A small inductance L2 is preferably connected in series with the H.T. supply to the valve. The circuit will restore itself to normal when the condenser discharge ceases.
