| Description | Volt-ampere discharge characteristics of an enclosed keeper hollow cathode discharge were measured as a function of the mercury flow rate and external circuit impedance. Discharge currents were varied from 0 to 1 ampere and voltages were 7 to 39 volts. Batteries and a vacuum tube control circuit were used to obtain characteristics curves that were independent of power supply impedance. Variation of the neutral flow results in changes in the discharge which interact with the impedance of the external circuit, and under some conditions, give rise to multiple operating points. |
