Applications

Special applications include rotating exciters for power generators where the diodes are specially made to endure the high G forces encountered on the rotor of the generator. Also specially developed are diodes used to protect the superconducting magnets of the LHC at CERN in Geneva and high power avalanche diodes with multiple pellets in one ceramic puck to achieve 50kV for use in experimental pulse power fusion reactors.
