application; take the R-value on the X-axis and go
vertically to the curved line. From this point go
horizontally to the Y-axis, this point gives the maimum
allowed pulse energy in Joules/ohm or Wattsec./ohm.
By multiplying this figure with -value in use gives the
maximum allowed pulse-energy in Joules or Wattsec. If
this figure is higher than the applied pulse-energy the
application is allowed. Otherwise take one of the other
