Presentation Transcript

  1. SCR/Thyrisitor pnpn structure with 3 pn junctions ECE 442 Power Electronics

  2. Cross-section of the pnpn structure + VAK - J1 J2 J3 IA = 0 Apply a forward bias voltage to the Anode-Cathode Junctions J1 and J3 are forward biased Junction J2 is reverse biased Only a small amount of current flows from A to K The device is in it’s OFF or “Forward Blocking” State ECE 442 Power Electronics

  3. SCR/Thyristor (continued) + VAK - IA Increase the Anode-Cathode voltage until “breakdown” occurs. Anode current increases. “Conducting state” ECE 442 Power Electronics

  4. Thyristor Volt-Ampere Characteristic ECE 442 Power Electronics

  5. Two-Transistor Model ECE 442 Power Electronics

  6. Effects of Increasing Gate Current ECE 442 Power Electronics

  7. Line-Commutated Thyristor Circuit ECE 442 Power Electronics

  8. Forced-Commutated Thyristor Circuit ECE 442 Power Electronics

  9. Triac – Bi-directional Thyristor ECE 442 Power Electronics

  10. Triac Volt-Ampere Characteristic ECE 442 Power Electronics
