About the ITK 25-1
The ITK 25-1 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales ITK 25 series water-cooled metal-ceramic triode for very high power industrial RF applications including large induction heating and welding systems.
Key ratings of the ITK 25-1 include tube type Triode, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, anode cooling Water, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 100 MHz.
Typical applications are very high power industrial RF heating, large induction heating systems, industrial welding and high-capacity RF generators. Notable features: high-power ITK 25 series, water-cooled anode, metal-ceramic coaxial and thorium tungsten cathode.
Power triodes are three-electrode grid tubes used as RF oscillators and amplifiers in industrial RF heating (plastic welding, induction heating, drying), RF-excited CO₂ lasers, broadcast transmitters and particle accelerators. In oscillator service they work with vacuum capacitors in the tank and matching circuits.
