Model F5K-10-02 High Voltage Pulser

5,000 volts - 10 amp Maximum Current

Variable Width

The Model F5k-10-02 is a general purpose laboratory instrument which operates under dynamic load conditions. The maximum current of 10 amps permits operating with load resistances down to 500 ohms or with high impedance loads which require a parallel "pull down" resistor to decrease fall time. The instrument consists of a single planar triode switch with pulse fall time a function of load RC. The pulser is intended for high pulse current or fast rise time applications. For low pulse current applications see the M Series pulsers.
