High Tension Power Supply (Product Code: SLE/PHY/128) is a regulated laboratory power supply used to provide the high-tension voltages needed for thermionic experiments, such as a double fine beam tube, in college and senior school physics laboratories. It gives two independent, continuously adjustable outputs of 0-35V and 0-350V at 100mA maximum, plus two 6.3V AC cathode heater outputs, all fully isolated from earth. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Thermionic tubes need two things at once: a low heater voltage to warm the cathode so it emits electrons, and a high anode voltage to accelerate those electrons into a visible beam. The High Tension Power Supply provides both from one unit, with its 6.3V AC heater outputs and adjustable 0-350V HT output, which is why it suits fine beam tube work such as the specific charge of the electron experiment.
It also serves other experiments that need a high tension supply, including ionization current studies. Always switch off and turn the voltage controls to zero before changing connections, use shrouded 4 mm leads, and connect the independent earth terminal where the experiment requires it. The voltages involved are hazardous, so the unit should be used under a teacher's supervision.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this High Tension Power Supply as a sourced instrument for electron-physics teaching. We can quote it together with the tubes, holders, coils and leads that make up a working thermionic set-up, which saves institutions from coordinating several vendors.
