Thyratrons with "Cold" Cathode - Pseudospark Switches  
     
Description  
   

One of the most innovative products designed and produced by PulseTech is a line of thyratrons with non-heated cathode or pseudospark switches TPI- and TDI-series.

The tubes are intended for use as closing switches in pulsed power offering cost-effective solutions in environmentally safe, energy-saving technology.
Presently Pulsed Technologies Ltd offer a range of the thyratrons for:
  • medium and high power
  • high voltages from 1 kV up to 150 kV
  • peak currents from 500 A up to 200 kA
The design of the thyratrons is protected by RF patents (Nos 1792207, 1807798 и 2089003), the Inventor's certificate №20201 and International Patent CT/RU 2005/000298. Priority is effective since 02.06.2005.

Basic Advantages  
 

The need for the pseudospark switches was caused by the fact that new power technologies require a reliable, simple and cost-saving switch.

Now the absence of hot cathode:
  • leads to considerably higher service life of the switch - 10 000 times more than for spark gaps and tens times more than for conventional pulse thyratrons
  • simplifies circuitry
  • allows the switch to have the highest surge capability
  • gives the most low weight, compact and affordable switch for the achieved electrical parameters.


 

 

 

 

   
Main series  
 

>>>TPI-series

 - hollow cathode thyratrons operating in superdense glow and arc discharge. Intended for switching of charge up to 10E-4 ... 10E-1 C per pulse. These thyratrons can be used in applications such as pulse power supplies for lasers, electrophysics and testing equipment with frequency up to 50 kHz, pulse width 5...50000 ns.

thyratron, pseudospark witch

>>>TDI-series
- power and very high power thyratrons (copper-arc thyratrons) capable of switching up to some 10 C per pulse. The thyratrons can be used as environmentally safe substitute of mercury ignitrons.
TDI-thyratrons are available in SN-configuration, when the switch does not require for permanent heating of hydrogen reservoir.
