Introduction to Thyristors - TRIACs

Thyristors – TRIACs are a type of semiconductor component used for switching or controlling alternating current (AC). They are also known as SCRs (silicon controlled rectifiers) or TRIACs (triode for alternating current) due to their three-electrode construction. TRIACs are usually built with a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) or a boron-oxide-semiconductor (BOS) gate and are capable of switching current in either direction upon the application of a control voltage to the gate.

Understanding the BTA08-700CWRG Thyristor

The BTA08-700CWRG is a standard thyristor with a triggering voltage of 6-8V and a blocking voltage of 700V. It is a Triggered Gate Commutation Thyristor (TGCT) which is ideal for use in AC motor control. It has the characteristics of both a bidirectional thyristor and a diode; this makes it suitable for applications where high current conductivity and fast switching times are required. It is also used in applications such as brushless DC motor control, radio-frequency switching, LED lighting, and other AC switching applications. The BTA08-700CWRG has a high surge tolerance of 150amp (IEC 60970) and a total power dissipation of 7W.

Working Principle of the BTA08-700CWRG

The working principle of the BTA08-700CWRG is based on the fact that under certain conditions, an electric charge can be established on a semiconductor material. This is known as the “Punch-Through Effect”. The BTA08-700CWRG is triggered when a negative voltage is applied to its gate, resulting in a forward-bias condition. This allows current to flow in either direction through the circuit, depending on the polarity of the voltage source.The BTA08-700CWRG also employs commutation techniques to turn the device off in a controlled manner. A commutation is the process of turning off an SCR by applying a reverse-bias voltage to its gate. By using commutation, the device can be switched off automatically in a predictable manner, instead of relying on the application of energy to the gate to turn the device off.

Application Field and Potential Usage of BTA08-700CWRG

The BTA08-700CWRG is commonly used to control AC motors, allowing for precise and efficient control of motor speed and torque. It is also used in radio-frequency switching, LED lighting, AC-DC conversion and other AC switching applications. Additionally, it is suitable for many high power applications that require a fast switching time due to its short switching time of 5-10 nanoseconds and low triggering current of 1mA or less.In addition, due to its high surge tolerance, the BTA08-700CWRG can be used in harsh environments where high levels of energy are required to maintain operation. It is also commonly used in adjustable power supply systems, pulse circuits, and motor control circuits. Overall, the BTA08-700CWRG can be a powerful and effective solution for a wide range of AC switching applications. Its low triggering voltage, fast switching time, and high surge tolerance make it an ideal choice for applications that require responsive control of alternating current.
