Thyristors - SCRs - Modules

The M505062V is a high power thyristor module which is designed to perform reliable and robust high power switching in various industrial applications. It is designed using a bonded silicon dies structure, optimized and especially designed to reduce the gate current and voltage sensitivity. This product also features a wide gate trigger range of 1-15V and operates on a blocking voltage of up to 8000V.

The M505062V is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) module which features an optically isolated control interface and provides a very high blocking voltage with low gate current. This product utilizes a distinct twist-lock plug type terminal block design while providing excellent isolation. The M505062V is also equipped with a wide variety of current ratings ranging from 1000A to 4000A and a power rating of up to 10000W.

Application Field

The M505062V can be used in a variety of industrial applications that require high power switching. These applications include dynamic braking systems, soft start systems and power supplies. In particular, the M505062V is ideal for dynamic braking applications and is widely used in the braking systems of electric motors, electric fans, compressors, but other dynamic braking systems, such as relay-controlled Thyristors, may also be acceptable. Another application where the M505062 works well is in soft start systems; especially in power supplies, UPSs and switched-mode power supplies.

Working Principle

The M505062V works on the principle of gate control. When the gate voltage is applied, the thyristor conducts current. When the gate voltage is removed, the thyristor switches off. In the case of dynamic braking systems, the operation is quite simple. When the braking system is switched on, the thyristor module will provide a continuous forward current. As soon as the braking system is switched off, the thyristor module will switch off, thus cutting the power supply. In a soft start system, the operation is more complicated as the thyristor provides a variable amount of current depending on the application\'s requirements.

Conclusion

The M505062V is an ideal choice for applications that require high power switching. It is especially suitable for dynamic braking and soft start systems in electric motors, electric fans, compressors, UPSs, switched-mode power supplies and many other applications. The Thyristor module features a broad gate voltage range and a wide variety of current ratings, making it very suitable for various applications.
