Thyristors are electronic components which are commonly used in automation, communications, and other industries where the control of power is required. Designed to switch on and off, thyristors come in various forms including light-activated (LAT) thyristors and silicon-controlled rectifiers or SCRs for short. Although these two devices have many similarities and applications, the primary distinction is that SCRs respond to current rather than light. Among the different types of SCRs, one of the most popular is the C398D.

The C398D is a medium-current, fast-acting SCR which is used mainly in power supplies, HVAC systems and heavy industrial machinery. It is renowned for its adjustable triggering and high surge capabilities. Thedevice can be used in applications ranging from 600V to 1400V, boasting a state-of-the-art temperature range, high surge current capability and very low on-state voltage drop. With a maximum repetitive off-state, it is ideal for heavy industrial applications.

As far as the working principle of the C398D is concerned, the device essentially consists of three terminals: an anode, a gate, and a cathode. Anode and cathode respectively refer to the positive and negative plate of the device. Onclosing of the gate and on becoming forward-biased, it allows electric current to flow through the device, which makes it turn on and conduct electric current. When the gate current is removed, the switching action of the SCR is reversed and the device turns off. A notable feature of the C398D is its reverse blocking property, which distinguishes it from other types of SCRs.

The C398D SCR is a versatile device and can be used in many power control applications like switching, triggering and commutation of electric power. It can rectify and regulate DC power as well as turn AC power to DC, making it suitable for use in lighting and other equipment. Additionally, it provides soft start of motors, helps minimise line disturbances, enables overvoltageprotection and dampens inrush current. The device is durable and operates accurately across wide temperature ranges.

Given its varied applications and features, the C398D is becoming increasingly popular among engineers for its durability, performance, and ease of installation. It is also cost-effective, making it a cost-effective solution for many industries. The SCR requires minimal maintenance and can be used for a long time without any problems. Owing to its dependability and effectiveness, it is increasingly becoming the go-to solution for many power control applications.
