BTA12-700BWRG

Thyristors are semiconductor devices used in power control applications, including those controlled by the Belton Automation line of thyristors. The model BTA12-700BWRG, manufactured by Belton, is a model of a thyristor that is ideal for high-voltage and low-power applications.

Thyristors are a type of silicon-controlled rectifier; they are bidirectional, and can be used to switch large amounts of power in both directions. They are triggered and controlled by current, and they consist of a pair of P-channel and N-channel junction transistors connected with a third, P-channel transistor. The BTA12-700BWRG has a maximum allowable current of 12A and a maximum rating of 700V.

Thyristors are used in a wide range of applications, from light dimmers to circuit breakers to industrial motor control. The BTA12-700BWRG model is largely used in higher-current applications, due to its higher-than-average ratings for a thyristor. Additionally, the device is compatible with a wide range of DC and AC voltage sources, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications.

The working principle of a thyristor is based on the attention paid to the current that passes through the device. When the current passing through the thyristor exceeds a certain threshold, the thyristor switches on. This allows power to be switched on and off in a rapid, controlled manner, making them ideal for applications involving high voltages and currents. In the case of the BTA12-700BWRG thyristor, the switching threshold is 700V and 12A respectively.

The BTA12-700BWRG Thyristor has several advantages over other models in its class, including its higher rating for current, its wide compatibility, and its ability to be used in a variety of applications. It is a reliable and efficient device, and it is well-suited for use in high-voltage and low-power applications.
