  This report is a survey of lifetime tests with cold-cathode TPI-thyratrons or pseudospark switches (PSS) in kickers of various accelerators. Descriptions of design and electrical circuits of power kickers as well as test results of devices utilizing 75kV TDI- and TPI-thyratrons in NIKA installations (JINR) and accelerator U70 in Kurchatov's Institute - IPHE are presented.

  The known statistics data amassed for power thyratrons in accelerators show remarkable potential of the plasma switches in terms of lifetime covering the range from several thousand up to 120 thousand hours total*,**. The gap in the lifetime can be reduced both by measures of improvements in technology and implementation of thyratron parameters monitoring systems. It is known that the thyratron lifetime mainly depends on continuity of gas pressure and cathode emission. In this paper the initial research on some effective means of gas pressure monitoring automation is described. The pressure monitoring in thyratrons TGI-, TPI- and TDI-types is possible in absence of anode voltage either by registration of triggering parameters in a new igniter design or by a special built-in high-temperature pressure gauge.
