IRKU56/12A is a kind of thyristor module that belongs to a type of power semiconductor switch referred to as SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier). Typically designed for use with single-phase, three-phase and frequency pulse generator AC circuits, SCRs and their modules offer excellent power control, switching and protection. The IRKU56/12A module is in the form of a bidirectional symmetrical bridge and is provided with a TRIAC or SCR trigger assembly that operates at a low voltage and contains an integrated heat sink for good thermal performance.

This module provides an ideal solution for motor control, switching and inrush current control applications as it can provide fast reversing of polarity and adjustable current control with excellent accuracy and dependability. When tripped, the current in the load circuit is reversed and then eventually fades to zero. This helps in providing the desired current flow in a range from zero to the maximum rated load current.

Working of IRKU56/12A

IRKU56/12A is designed with an overall control system in which an external triggering signal is driven by an external fault detector such as PLC. Once the device is triggered, a triac or SCR trigger is activated and the clamping device conducts current through the bridge of SCRs elements. This activates the kinetic energy in the load circuit by means of a signal, which is then maintained at the preset level until the device is automatically reset.

The device has a clamping mechanism that enables the module to be triggered at a lower voltage than that needed to reach the required current level without causing any overshoot. The adjustable current control also ensures that maximum current through the load circuit is maintained at the desired preset level. This helps in preventing overheating and damage to electrical components in the load circuit.
