The "B" battery is used to provide the plate voltage. It is sometimes colloquially referred to as a "dry battery" (although there is no reason why a "wet" battery of suitable voltage could not be utilised for the purpose). The filament is primarily a heat source and therefore the "A" battery supplies significant current and rapidly discharges ...

This is a list of vacuum tubes or thermionic valves, and low-pressure gas-filled tubes, or discharge tubes. Before the advent of semiconductor devices, thousands of tube types were used in consumer electronics.
Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).
Other power supplies for vacuum tube circuits include: LT, low tension or A battery, the supply to the filaments or heaters. Early tubes designed for battery operation had 2 volt filaments (for use with a lead-acid cell). Later tubes had 1.4 volt filaments to run from dry batteries. With the introduction of mains powered equipment, indirectly ...
Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may ...

Mercury battery "РЦ-53М"(RTs-53M), Russian manufactured in 1989. A mercury battery (also called mercuric oxide battery, mercury cell, button cell, or Ruben-Mallory [1]) is a non-rechargeable electrochemical battery, a primary cell. Mercury batteries use a reaction between mercuric oxide and zinc electrodes in an alkaline electrolyte.
