by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago 2N1595 Thyristor : Pin Configuration & Its Applications A 2N1595 thyristor is a three-terminal and four-layered semiconductor device where the terminals are the anode, cathode, and gate & layers are P-N-N-P. Generally, a thyristor works like a switch to control the power. This is a lightweight...
by Tarun Agarwal 3 years ago What is a Gate Turn Off Thyristor & Its Working A solid-state semiconductor device like a thyristor is not a completely controlled switch. The operation of this can be done like this, it can be switched ON through a gate terminal however cannot switch OFF using a gate terminal. When...
by Tarun Agarwal 4 years ago What is Holding Current and Latching Current with Differences The thyristor or SCR is a power semiconductor device which is used in power electronic circuits. They work like a bistable switch and it operates from nonconducting to conducting. The designing of thyristors can be done with 3-PN junctions...
by Tarun Agarwal 5 years ago Triggering of Thyristors or SCR Triggering The SCR or thyristor is one kind of semiconductor device and it is specially designed to utilize in high-power switching applications. The operating of this device can be done in a switching mode only and acts as a switch. When the SCR...
by Tarun Agarwal 10 years ago Thyristor Commutation Methods in Power Electronics Most of the converter equipment and switch-mode power supplies use power electronics components like thyristors, MOSFET, and other power semiconductor devices for high-frequency switching operations at high-power ratings. Consider the thyristors...
by Tarun Agarwal 10 years ago How to Control AC Power? Most of the electrical appliances used at home require AC power for their operation. This AC power or AC is given to the appliances through the switching operation of some power electronic switches. For a smooth operation of the loads,...
by Tarun Agarwal 10 years ago Silicon Controlled Rectifiers – Basics, Operation & Applications Modern power electronics truly began with the advent of thyristors. Thyristors are also known as the silicon controlled rectifiers or SCRs. These are four layered and three-terminal semiconductor devices. And thyristors are unidirectional...
