F1891DH1600

Thyristors are solid state components that are designated for various uses in control of power electronics. A common type of thyristor is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), which is used to control current and voltage, such as in DC power converters and other devices where temporary, point-of-use circuit control is desired. The F1891DH1600 is a commonly used SCR module, designed for use in power conversion applications ranging from DC motor control to industrial motor drives.

The F1891DH1600 module is a compact, low-profile 3-phase SCR module, based on insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology. It is rated for 1600A continuous, surge current, and a 9kV peak junction voltage. It comes with a built-in snubber and a built-in diode bridge, enabling multiple phase-shift angles, together with a large over-voltage protection range, to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, the module includes a temperature sensor with a thermistor to provide over-temperature protection.

The working principle behind SCR modules like the F1891DH1600 is based on a combination of thyristor designs. Essentially, when a voltage is applied to the anode, it increases the current from the cathode. If a higher voltage is applied to the cathode, the current starts to decrease and the thyristor is "turned-on". Once the thyristor is in the "on" state, the current will flow through the gate, activating the associated transistor, which then maintains the "on" state of the thyristor. The transistor will keep the current flow until the voltage applied to the gate is reduced to its original level. Thus, the SCR module works as a periodic current controller that can be used to reach a desired level of current.

This is why SCR modules are used extensively in power conversion applications. For example, they can be used to switch power between two DC power sources, or even to regulate the current in AC motors and other motion control systems. Furthermore, since the F1891DH1600 includes a temperature sensor and a snubber, it can effectively protect against over-voltage conditions, thus helping to maintain optimal operation in high-load operation environments.

The F1891DH1600 SCR module from F1891 is a highly useful device for controlling and converting power. Its design is based on IGBT technology, and it is rated for a high performance level. It also comes with various protection features and monitoring devices for optimal protection and control. All of these features in combination make it an ideal choice for any power related applications requiring high current and voltage control.
