About the I-167
The I-167 is a ignitron manufactured by Taylor / Richardson. Medium-size mercury-pool ignitron rated at 25 kV and 2000 A peak current for medium-power industrial switching and welding control systems.
Key ratings of the I-167 include tube type Ignitron, peak anode voltage 25 kV, peak current 2000 A, average current 30 A, coolant Water and mercury pool Integral cathode.
Typical applications are medium-power welding control, AC/DC power control, pulsed power modulators and industrial furnace control. Notable features: 2000 A peak current, 25 kV voltage rating, water-cooled operation and medium-duty ignitron.
Ignitrons are mercury-pool switch tubes able to conduct very high currents, used in capacitor-discharge pulsed power, welding control and crowbar protection circuits.
