Types Of Thyristors And Their
Applications
Introduction:
Thyristor is a small device which can control large amounts of voltage
and power. Thyristors are used as current reversal to turn off the device.
Actually, it takes direct current so it is very difficult to apply to the
device. Lets learn Types Of Thyristors And Their Applications in details.
Types Of Thyristors And Their
Applications
What is a
Thyristor?
A thyristor is a four layer solid-state semiconductor device with P and N
type material.
Whenever a gate receives a triggering current.
I
t starts’ conducting until the voltage across the thyistor device is under
forward bias.
So it acts as a bistable switch under this condition.
To control the large amount of current of the two leads.
Types Of Thyristors And Their
Applications
We have to design a three lead thyristor by combining the small
amount of current to that current.
This process is known as control lead.
If the potential difference between the two leads is under
breakdown voltage.
Then a two lead thyristor is used to switch on the device.
