Data Sheet of BR1617F / PET1617F
BR1617F is an Air-cooled R.F. power triodes of coaxial ceramic-metal construction. It is intended primarily for industrial R.F. heating machines.
Electrical Characteristics of BR1617F
Filament . . Thoriated tungsten (Mesh Type)
Filament voltage (see note 1) 6.3 Volts
Filament Current 160 Amps
Filament cold resistance 5.3 mΩ
Peak usable cathode current 30 Amp

Amplification factor (Va = 2.25 kV, la = 1.0 A) 23
Mutual conductance (Va = 2.25 kV, la = 1.0 A) 40 mA/V
Inter-electrode capacitances:
Grid to anode . . 36 pF
Grid to filament . . 78 pF
Anode to filament . 2.0 pF
Mechanical Characteristics of BR1617F
Overall dimensions . See outline drawing
Net weight: . . 4.3 kg (9.5 pounds) approx
Mounting position . Vertical, either way up
Accessories of BR1617F
Cathode Connector . PA830
For frequencies above 2 MHz, PA830 should be used in conjunction with a strip connection to provide a low inductance cathode return.
Cooling of BR1617F
The required air flow should be delivered through the radiator immediately before and during the application of any voltages. Filament power, anode power and air flow may be removed simultaneously.
Filament and Grid Seals
The temperature of the filament and grid seals must not exceed 200 °C. A flow of air of 15ft³/min (0.43m³/min) directed onto the terminals via a 1-inch (25 mm approx) diameter nozzle from a distance of 6 inches before and during the application of any voltages is usually adequate for limiting the temperature of the seals.

NOTES
1. BR1617F must be operated at the stated filament voltage. Fluctuation in filament voltage must not exceed ±5%. The filament may be switched on at its operating voltage and no surge limiting devices need be incorporated in the filament circuit. The voltage drop in the integral filament leads is less than 1% of the filament voltage.
2. The feedback ratio is defined as Vg(pk)/Va(pk) X 100 where Vg(pk) = peak r.f. grid voltage in volts and Va(pk) = peak r.f. anode voltage in volts.
3. Oscillator output power = Pout – Pdrive
Where Pout = output power of tube to anode circuit
and Pdrive = drive power fed back to grid circuit.
