Thyristors - TRIACs

The CTA24-1200BW is a high power variant from the CTA series of TRIACs manufactured by Ltd. It has a good combination of robustness, performance and versatility, making it suitable for a variety of applications. This article provides an overview of the CTA24-1200BW applications and its working principle.

Application Field

The CTA24-1200BW is suitable for use in a number of different applications including switching AC loads, uninterruptable power supplies, motor drives, power supplies, motor speed controls, and lighting. Its wide range of features makes it an ideal choice for a variety of high power applications.

In the case of switching AC loads, the CTA24-1200BW provides reliable and high-speed switching with very low on-state loss. The TRIAC has a switching time of only 12μs which makes it suitable for high frequency applications like variable frequency drives. It is also ideal for controlling resistive loads such as motor speed control as it offers low voltage drop and low conduction losses.

The CTA24-1200BW is also able to switch heavy inductive and capacitive loads with its high surge current rating. This TRIAC is therefore suitable for powering uninterruptable power supplies and motor drives, as well as controlling lighting fixtures.

Working Principle

The CTA24-1200BW is a three-terminal semiconductor device that is controlled by current flow. It is made up of two separate thyristors connected in reverse parallel. In its basic form, the TRIAC operates in a similar way to two back-to-back SCRs connected in an inverse parallel configuration. When an external signal is applied, current will flow from the gate terminal to the main terminals, activating the TRIAC and allowing current to flow through both main terminals in both directions.

One of the advantages of the CTA24-1200BW is that it is snubberless. This means that it does not require an external snubber circuit to suppress voltage spikes that are caused by the TRIAC turning off. This makes the CTA24-1200BW a very efficient device with low thermal losses. Moreover, the TRIAC has a zero crossing detector which allows it to be triggered in both forward and reverse directions. This means that the TRIAC can be used to control AC loads without affecting the load’s existing waveform.

The CTA24-1200BW has a wide range of features and can operate efficiently in a variety of applications. With its low conduction losses and fast switching time, this TRIAC is ideal for switching AC loads, powering uninterruptable power supplies, motor drive controls, power supplies, and controlling lighting.
