Thyristors are a type of semi-conductor device, which are basically responsible for voltage and current control. Of the thyristors, silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are the most popular and widely used device in the field of application. SCRs are a form of rectifier which are capable of withstanding and controlling very high levels of voltage and current. The main application of SCRs is for voltage control and in-rush current limiting. In industries, large capacitor banks are used to maintain a steady DC voltage level, and SCRs ensure the safety during the charging process. SCRs also perform very important application such as welding, sound and light control, motor speed control, etc.

The basic working principle of a Silicon-controlled rectifier is based on two thyristors connected in series, also known as a two-thyristor switch or a C46N device. In the C46N device, each thyristor has its own separate gate terminal, which controls the turn-on of each thyristor individually. When both gates are stimulated by the same signal, the thyristors turn-on simultaneously, forming a closed circuit. The C46N device can be used to control both current as well as voltage. The current surge limit can be adjusted very easily by altering the gate signals for each thyristor, thus allowing for precise control of the current in the circuit.

C46N devices are used in a wide range of applications, the most common being for in-rush current limiters, safety control in power grids, and capacitor bank charging. C46N devices are also used in switching regulators which are used in the control of electric vehicle chargers, solar power conversion, and smart electrical systems. As mentioned earlier, C46N devices are also used in welding, where they offer high speed current switching and improved efficiency.

The C46N device is a very versatile and dependable device, and its ability to control both current and voltage at the same time makes it a very attractive option for a variety of applications. It is capable of withstanding large peak currents and its gate control make it very suitable for safety applications. As such, it is used extensively in industries, as well as in recreational use, such as welding and sound and light control.
