Thyristors - TRIACs: BTA316-600ET/DGQ Application Field and Working Principle

The BTA316-600ET/DGQ is a 3-Phase TRIAC thyristor series suited for digital control and switched mode power supplies (SMPS). This series of PNPN thyristors has an on-state current (It, at 400 C for 1 second) of 3.2A and an off-state reverse voltage of 600V. The BTA316-600ET/DGQ is an ideal choice for semiconductor applications where a combination of high voltage and current carrying capabilities is required.

Thyristors such as the BTA316-600ET/DGQ are used in a diverse range of industries, from lighting and heating controls to medical device control and safety. As an all-in-one device, this series of TRIAC thyristors operates by providing the switch which enables controlling electrical energy by applying a current or a voltage. The device avoids short circuits which is why thyristors are a popular choice in the field.

The main application field of the BTA316-600ET/DGQ series is in SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supplies), as they can control the current flow and voltage between the rectifier and inverter stages. It is also used in industrial applications like motor control, digital control and others.

The working principle of TRIACs such as the BTA316-600ET/DGQ is based on the principle of unidirectional conduction. This means that the TRIAC conducts when the gate trigger voltage is applied, but it only conducts in one direction other than the reverse direction. So, when the gate trigger voltage is below the minimum turnaround current, the TRIAC is in off-state and it blocks both directions of current flow.

The BTA316-600ET/DGQ is triggered using a gate terminal. After the gate terminal has been triggered, the device will start to conduct current in both directions across its main terminals. Thyristors can be used to control the current in two ways: pulse width modulation and phase control. In pulse width modulation, the on/off cycle of the thyristor is controlled either by varying the gate trigger voltage or by varying the turning around current. In phase control, the thyristor is turned on and off at the same voltage but varying the turn around current.

The BTA316-600ET/DGQ has proven quite a reliable device over the years and is used in many applications to control the power flow through the device. With its 3.2A on-state current and 600V off-state reverse voltage capability, the variable COV (coefficient of variation of current) and low thermal impedance, it is an ideal choice for many automation and industrial applications.
