About the ITK 30-2

The ITK 30-2 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales ITK series water-cooled metal-ceramic triode for large-scale industrial RF induction heating and heavy-duty RF generator applications.

Key ratings of the ITK 30-2 include tube type Triode, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, anode cooling Water, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 100 MHz.

Typical applications are large-scale industrial RF heating, heavy-duty induction hardening, industrial welding systems and high-power RF generators. Notable features: large ITK 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.
