Specialized - Ignitron ·IgnitronPowerSwitch
Water-cooled coaxial ignitron for frequency-changer welding service. Its controlled mercury-discharge construction handles very high peak currents.
Sealed stainless-steel-jacketed, water-cooled coaxial ignitron for frequency-changer welder service. Two tubes in inverse parallel can control high peak current, and the coaxial current path reduces magnetic arc deflection.
