About the TGI1-500-10
The TGI1-500-10 is a thyratron manufactured by EEV / Svetlana. Medium-voltage hydrogen thyratron rated at 10 kV and 500 A peak for medium-power pulsed applications and laser drivers.
Key ratings of the TGI1-500-10 include tube type Hydrogen Thyratron, peak anode voltage 10 kV, average anode current 0.5 A, peak anode current 500 A, repetition rate up to 3000 Hz and filling Hydrogen.
Typical applications are excimer laser drivers, pulsed CO2 laser modulators, pulse forming networks, industrial pulsed power and scientific research pulsers. Notable features: 10 kV 500 A peak, 3000 Hz high rep rate, low-energy trigger and hydrogen reservoir cathode.
Thyratrons are gas-filled (hydrogen or deuterium) switch tubes that discharge high-voltage pulse-forming networks in microseconds. They are the modulator switch in medical linacs, radar transmitters, lasers and pulsed-power systems, driving magnetrons and klystrons.
