1530-P1 Flashtube for GenRad 1531, 1538, 1539, 1542 & 1546 Stroboscope

Description

The Strobotron
Tube As used in a stroboscope, the strobotron tube contains two main electrodes, a cathode and an anode, separated by 3/8 inch, in an envelope filled with xenon gas at a pressure of one-half atmosphere. A specially designed capacitor acts as a low-impedance source to supply 800 to 1000 volts across these electrodes. The gas, however, remains nonconducting until a 5000-volt pulse is applied to trigger wires interspersed between these main electrodes. This trigger pulse ionizes the gas, and causes up to 1000 amperes to flow through it. This peak flow of almost one million watts generates an intense flash of white light of 15 million beam candles
