About the RT 2048
The RT 2048 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales RT 2048 Power Tube Plus delivering 30–44 kW for RF end stage and industrial laser system applications, a high-efficiency metal-ceramic triode design.
Key ratings of the RT 2048 include tube type Triode, output power range 30–44 kW, construction Metal-ceramic, anode cooling Water and cathode Thorium tungsten.
Typical applications are CO₂ laser cutting end stage, industrial RF heating, RF power end stage and high-frequency induction systems. Notable features: 30–44 kW power range, power Tube Plus designation, water-cooled anode and metal-ceramic construction.
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.
