IEC Fusion Reactor Mark 3 Fluorinert Cooled Grid, Version 4



 

Overview:

Modifications to the Version 3, Version 2 and Version 1 cooled grids. Replaces boron nitride/quartz insulator with Macor/Alumina insulator for improved vacuum performance

 

 

 

Grid Cooling Assembly (5/1/2016)

Version 3, grid insulator arcs at ~25kv at the interface between the alumina rod and the macor bushing
