These transformers were custom-
designed for reliable triggering of the
PerkinElmer GP-485/486/488/489
triggered spark gaps. They have
operating circuit output voltages well
above the maximum required by the
switches and are capable of sustain-
ing the trigger to adjacent electrode
current during the turn-on phase of
gap operation. These transformers
are constructed using miniature
low input voltage transformers,
round, with flying leads and solder
connections. The TR-2190 and
TR-2207 are high input voltage
transformers, square, with pins for
PC board connection.
