Thyristors - SCRs

Thyristors are semiconductor devices based on the three-terminal junction principle of a diode. There are two types, SCRs and triacs, which can be used in different applications. This article will cover the field of application and working principle of the SCR, model CPS053-2N878-WN.

Applications of SCRs

SCRs are used in a wide range of applications due to their versatility. These applications include controlling electric motors, static relay and converter applications, control of DC and AC circuits, and more. It is commonly used in industrial power electronics and automation systems.

SCRs are also widely used in industrial processes such as welding, medical equipment, and other power conversion applications. They are also used for high-energy systems such as laser cutting, solar cell applications, and aerospace applications. In these applications, the SCR can be used to control the power that is being transmitted and the timing of the process.

Working Principle of SCRs

An SCR consists of two P-N junctions that are connected in reverse parallel, commonly referred to as a four layer diode. It has three pins (anode, gate, and cathode), and when the voltage applied to the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, a current flows through the device and it turns on. When the voltage applied to the anode is negative with respect to the cathode, the current does not flow and the SCR is turned off. When the gate terminal is provided with a current, it can be used to control the anode voltage and the SCR can be turned on or off.

The CPS053-2N878-WN model SCR is a phase controlled thyristor used in AC-AC and AC-DC power control applications. It is used to switch the current off in ac circuits and it can withstand high voltages and currents. It has a maximum current rating of 35A, a blocking voltage rating of 800V, and a maximum junction temperature of 100°C.

Conclusion

In conclusion, SCRs, like the model CPS053-2N878-WN, are versatile devices used in industrial power electronics and automation applications. They are used to control electric currents and can be used in both AC and DC circuits. They have various ratings for voltage, current, and temperature, and have three pins (anode, gate, and cathode). When the voltage applied to the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, a current flows through the device and it turns on. When the gate terminal is provided with a current, it can be used to control the anode voltage and the SCR can be turned on or off.
