Thyristors, also called silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), are three-terminal semiconductor devices used to control electrical power and switch high-voltage circuits. The C49E20 is one of them, and it is used in power control and switching applications, such as motor control and DC power supply control. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the C49E20.

Application Field of C49E20

The C49E20 is an economical medium power three-terminal thyristor device designed primarily to control power in a wide range of applications. It can be used in diverse applications such as AC automatic phase controlling and switching, motor control, DC power supply control, and other thyristor switching applications. The C49E20 is particularly well suited for a variety of power control and switching applications, where its low intensity and fast response time facilitate improved system efficiency and controllability.

The C49E20can be used in motor control and DC power supply control. It is specifically designed for direct starting of AC induction motors, eliminating the need for a starter motor. It also can be used in DC power supply control for controlling the voltage in a DC power supply. As mentioned previously, it can also be used in a variety of other process control and switching applications.

Working Principle of C49E20

The C49E20 is a three-terminal device, commonly referred to as an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier). It operates on the principle of thyristor operation by controlling the flow of current through two auxiliary electrodes, the cathode and the anode. The third electrode is the gate and is used to control the flow of current through the device. When the gate electrode is biased in the forward direction, the device is triggered and current flows through the anode and the cathode. This current will remain flowing until the device is turned off by either removing the triggering signal or by decreasing the applied current.

The C49E20 can be triggered by a gate pulse, which is typically a brief voltage pulse applied to the gate. The gate current triggers the gate-cathode junction, allowing current to flow through the device. Once the voltage has been applied, the device will remain in the forward conducting state until the device is current limited or the gate voltage is reversed, which is how the device is turned off.

The C49E20 has a reverse blocking voltage rating of up to 300V. This means that the device cannot allow current to flow from the cathode to the anode when a voltage greater than 300V is applied. This ensures that the device can be used in higher voltage applications without the risk of current flowing through the reverse action of the device.

The C49E20 is a medium power thyristor that is ideal for power switching and control applications. It has a fast switching time, which enhances system efficiency and controllability. It is also a reverse blocking device, providing additional protection against hazardous voltages. With its many features, the C49E20 is a widely used SCR.
