directly heated cathode, it is shown that utilization of an auxiliary discharge in the case of uncompletely compensated regime results in considerable increase of basic current and shift of the current maximum to lower temperatures. The auxiliary discharge improves energy characteristics of the converter in the cases when the cathode temperature is lower than 1800°C.
