Re: [TCML] Thyratron

["DC Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I have used both thyratrons and ignitrons in these applications, and
the high rep rates required for good spark "growth" present thermal
problems.  Also, the price of thyratrons to handle a 120 pps rep rate become
very expensive.  IGBTs are a better solution especially for medium size
coils.
