F1842CCH600 Application Field and Working Principle

Thyristors power modules are an integrated, ready-to-use technology for controlling high-voltage and/or high-power applications. The F1842CCH600 is a thyristor module produced by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a major provider of power semiconductors and other components. The F1842CCH600 is a 1600 V module containing two top-connected thyristors with a blocking voltage of 800 V each, allowing it to handle currents up to 210 A.

Application Field

The F1842CCH600 is ideal for use in high-power applications such as motor control, SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) motor drives, lighting and welding, cycle control and AC line control. It can also be used for switching and rectifying dc-to-ac current, as well as for controlling full-wave or half-wave rectified waveforms. The F1842CCH600 is suitable for operation with a wide range of motor types, such as DC and AC motors, SCR motors, variable speed drives and stepper motors.

Working Principle

At the heart of the F1842CCH600 are two thyristors which function using the same principles of operation as a traditional SCR, allowing the thyristor power module to control power flow in applications up to 1600 V and up to 210 A. Typically, each thyristor is used to control one phase of power in a 3-phase system.

The F1842CCH600 thyristor power module works by switching on and off in response to a triggering signal. When a triggering signal (gate signal) is applied, the anode and cathode of the thyristor are connected, allowing current to flow and the power module to switch on. When the signal is removed, the thyristor is turned off and the current will cease to flow.

When the thyristor is switched on, the current flows in such a manner that as the current increases, the voltage decreases, meaning that the thyristor can act as a current regulator by limiting the current to a specific level. This makes the F1842CCH600 ideal for high-power applications where precise current control is necessary.

Safety Features

The F1842CCH600 is designed with a number of safety features to prevent sudden power losses or circuit failures. Built-in short circuit, thermal and overload protection prevents damage or sudden power loss in the event of a fault. The thyristor module has a built-in clamping circuit which limits the breakdown voltage and ensures stable operation over the entire operation range.

The F1842CCH600 is also designed with a built-in gate voltage monitor, which monitors the gate voltage and alerts the user if it exceeds a predetermined level. This ensures that the gate voltage remains within safe limits and prevents damage to the thyristor or circuit as a result of an overvoltage.

Conclusion

The F1842CCH600 is a robust and reliable thyristor module with an impressive performance and safety record. It is suitable for use in high-power applications, offering precise current control and protection against faults. With its built-in protection, the F1842CCH600 is an ideal choice for power control applications where reliability and safety are paramount.
