About the I-25
The I-25 is a ignitron manufactured by Taylor / Richardson. Mercury-pool ignitron rated at 35 kV and 3000 A peak for medium-to-heavy industrial resistance welding and high-power switching applications.
Key ratings of the I-25 include tube type Ignitron, peak anode voltage 35 kV, peak current 3000 A, average current 40 A and coolant Water.
Typical applications are resistance spot welding, projection welding, industrial press welding and high-power inverter protection. Notable features: 3000 A peak current, 35 kV voltage class, between I-167 and I-23 power and water-cooled jacket.
Ignitrons are mercury-pool switch tubes able to conduct very high currents, used in capacitor-discharge pulsed power, welding control and crowbar protection circuits.
