The roughing pump is the component that primes the other pumps in series on the vacuum line, evacuating the system until a pressure level is reached at which a booster pump (known as a lobe-type roots pump) can be activated, followed by other types of diffusion, turbo molecular, cryogenic, ionic and other pumps that can be used when the pressure is reached.
Depending on the flow rate, the pumping system is proportioned in relation to system volume, pumping cycle speed, load degassing and contamination produced by the load (vapors, dust, binders, etc.) in the pump itself. It is for this reason that mechanical strength and wear influence the choice of pump type.
I highly recommend you to read an intersting article (splitted in two parts) about this topic:

First work a little bit "feed forward" and monitor the resistance carefully, since it changes with the temperature of the element. When the resistance is somewhat stabilized: release more power.

We have thyristor control units for driving Molibdenum elements. They can also drive Tungestenum, KanthalSuper, Platinum and Silicium-Carbide (SiC), as well as quartz lamps and short-wave infraled loads.
