Thyristors - DIACs, SIDACs

A thyristor is an electronic component used in power control and switching applications. Thyristors are a type of semiconductor switching device which make use of the flow of electrons in both directions. In general, thyristors are a type of four-layer semiconductor device, which can be used in various applications to provide various kinds of control over the power flow in circuits. In this article, we will take a look at the Thyristor K0900S and its application fields and working principles.

Application Fields

The K0900S Thyristor is designed as an active switching element designed for low to medium voltage switching applications, offering a range of electrical parameters, reliable performance, and a wide operating frequency. It is mainly used in saturation lighting and motor control, adjustable frequency rectifier, electronic regulating power supply, and power operated automation systems and equipment.

Working Principles

The basic principle behind a thyristor is that it operates as a switch based on changes in the devices current. When the thyristor receives a current from a power source, it will cause a conducting channel to be created, allowing the current to flow in two directions and providing the control over the power. In the K0900S, this current is generated by a closed circuit, typically using a voltage source such as a battery, or a transformer.

The thyristor operates by changing the flow of current through the device when a certain value of the current is reached. This is called the “Hold-On” current or “Break-Off” current. When this value is reached, the thyristor will open or close the circuit, depending on the direction of the current flow.

The thyristor’s current flow can be adjusted by adding a resistor to the circuit. This is done to decrease the current flowing through the device, and to make it operate at a lower voltage. This is known as the “Gate Resistance Value”.

In order to control the activation of the thyristor, a trigger device is used. This device is used to provide the initial current needed to activate the thyristor and to control the frequency at which the device is activated. The trigger device is usually an electronic circuit or a mechanical switch.

Conclusion

The K0900S Thyristor is a versatile device used in many applications. It is designed to provide a reliable switching solution and can be used in various types of circuits. By using a closed circuit or a trigger device, the current can be controlled and the device can be used to switch the current on or off. As such, the K0900S can provide the perfect solution for many power control and switching applications.
