- A
thyratron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a high-power
electrical switch and
controlled rectifier.
Thyratrons can
handle much
greater currents than...
- lamps, and neon lights.
Specialized gas-filled
tubes such as krytrons,
thyratrons, and
ignitrons are used as
switching devices in
electric devices. The...

hobbyists had
built CD
ignitions throughout the 1950s
using thyratrons. However,
thyratrons were
unsuitable for use in
automobiles for two reasons. They...

intended for use as a very high-speed switch,
somewhat similar to the
thyratron. It
consists of a
sealed gl**** tube with four electrodes. A
small triggering...
- object, then it
triggered the
fourth tube – a gas-filled
thyratron. Upon
being triggered, the
thyratron conducted a
large current that set off the electrical...

triode thyratron, one
starter electrode, may need

version of the
thyratron,
which uses a pool of
mercury for its cathode, is
called an ignitron; some can
switch thousands of amperes.
