Thyristors - SCRs - Modules

A Thyristor module, such as the B512F-2T, is an electronic device with multiple thyristors or silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) acting as a single unit. It is usually used to control the power flow into a variety of applications with high power ratings, such as motor control, power control, lighting control, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

The method of operation of a thyristor (or SCR) module, such as the B512F-2T, is largely based on a simple two-wire control, which is independent of the load current. The two-wire control is in fact, the two SCRs that form the thyristor module. All the switching and control functions are implemented using only these two control SCRs. When using a thyristor module, it is important to understand the application field and working principle.

Application Field

A B512F-2T thyristor module is typically used to control applications with power ratings of 17.4 kW to 31 kW at voltages up to 690V, with a rated current up to 45A. Typical applications include motor control, lighting control, and UPS systems. The B512F-2T can also be used in soft starters, automatic voltage regulators, and other power management systems.

The thyristor also allows for inrush current limitation, which is an important feature for motor starting and energy-saving applications. This feature is also highly advantageous in battery charging and discharging, where inrush current needs to be limited for the battery’s safety and to prevent overcharging.

Working Principle

The main components in a typical thyristor module, such as the B512F-2T, are two SCRs, which are connected in a series connection. A control input can be applied to either of the SCRs. The voltage (Vs) across the series connection sets the operating point of the thyristor module and should be adjusted for correct operation.

The control input is in the form of a three-wire control. The three wires are connected to one control terminal each, on each SCR of the module. The connections must be done correctly according to the SCR gate control characteristics. When the two control terminals are opened, the SCRs in the module are turned off; the thyristor module is then in an open circuit state.

When the two control terminals of the SCRs in a B512F-2T thyristor module are closed, the SCRs are turned on, and the thyristor module is in a closed circuit state. This allows current to flow through the module, depending on the voltage applied and the overall load condition. The SCRs within the module will remain on until the control input is removed. The thyristor module provides circuit protection in case of a short circuit condition or other fault.

The B512F-2T thyristor module is also capable of reverse current operation, which is typical for UPS systems. During reverse operation, the SCRs are open, allowing the current to flow in reverse until the control order is given to block the current flow. This feature of the thyristor module is especially useful for power control applications where current in the wrong direction has to be blocked.

The B512F-2T thyristor module is an essential component in many efficient and reliable power control applications. The simplicity of the two-wire control and the ability to control current in either direction allow for accurate and reliable power control. With its built-in fault protection, the thyristor module ensures safe operation of the system.
