GI2404HE3/45 Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes have been around since the early 20th century and remain one of the most important components in electrical circuits. Over the years, diode technology has evolved and several versatile diode-related products have been developed. The GI2404HE3/45 is one such product. It falls in the category of diodes, rectifiers and arrays.

The GI2404HE3/45 is a type of reverse-blocking thyristor (or three-terminal reverse blocking thyristor) which is aptly named as it is made up of 3 pins/terminals. Developed for use in AC and DC power control, it is a single-phase device. It is a fast-responding device and can be used for frequencies up to 50kHz.

The GI2404HE3/45 is able to provide both over-current and over-voltage protection. It can be used in both on-line and off-line conditions, making it immensely versatile. The GI2404HE3/45 is also suitable for high-current, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications, making it an ideal choice for many industrial applications.

Application Field

The GI2404HE3/45 is mostly used in power control applications for alternating and direct current (AC and DC power control). It is often used in motor speed control, AC and DC power supply systems, UPSs, and power factor correction among other applications. Additionally, since it is fast-responding, the GI2404HE3/45 is also suitable for use in high voltage and high frequency applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the GI2404HE3/45 can be understood in simple terms. The device comprises of three terminals or pins. The first pin is referred to as the Anode, the second as the Gate, and the third as the Cathode. The Anode is the entry point and is connected to the DC source while the Gate connects to the external control circuit of the thyristor. The Cathode is grounded and connected to the load.

When a positive voltage is applied to the Gate terminal, the thyristor acts like a switch, connecting the Anode to the Cathode and thus allowing current to flow through the circuit. When the required voltage is applied to the Gate and the current reaches a certain level, it causes the thyristor to turn itself off, thereby breaking the circuit.

The GI2404HE3/45 also offers protection against over-current and over-voltage conditions. When an overload is detected, the thyristor turns itself off, breaking the circuit so that it is not damaged. Similarly, in cases of high voltage or over-voltage, the thyristor automatically turns off the circuit.

Conclusion

The GI2404HE3/45 is a versatile reverse-blocking thyristor which is perfect for AC and DC power control applications. It is made of three terminals or pins and works in a very simple manner; when a positive voltage is applied to the Gate terminal, the thyristor allows current to flow. The device also offers protection against over-current and over-voltage conditions by automatically switching off the circuit.
