Thyristors, more popularly known as SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers), are power semiconductor devices that act like switches used in a range of applications. Modules are a generic term for a series of thyristor devices connected together in an enclosure for the user to easily and quickly access the multiple devices. MCC 72-16IO1B is one such module featuring sixteen (16) SCRs coming together. This module has numerous applications in home automation, in industrial control and automation, and regulating electricity transfer.

MCC 72-16IO1B Applications

The MCC 72-16IO1B module is used in controlling power appliance sequentially. This method of controlling the appliances enables the users to automate their systems with ease and accuracy. For example in a manufacturing process, the power is supplied to the machines in the order of their manufacturing sequence. If a specific machine fails in the process, the system automatically shuts down the power to avoid any overload or damage. This module can also be used in controlling the power transfer from a power supply to a load. This helps in regulating the current and voltage from the power supply. The module is also used in home automation applications to automate lights and other electrical gadgets for convenience.

Working Principle of MCC 72-16IO1B

The MCC 72-16IO1B module is made from sixteen SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) which are responsible for switching an electrical signal. When an SCR is turned off, no current will be passed, and all SCRs begin in the off-state. When the signal rises to its turn-on threshold voltage, the SCRs will switch to its conduction state and will be able to pass current.

The MCC 72-16IO1B module uses logic-level signals, which require a minimum specific turn-on and turn-off voltage, based on the available components. Normally, the turn-on voltage will be less than 1V to trigger the SCR, and the turn-off voltage will be more than 2V. This means that the signal from the power supply must pass through a voltage regulator to provide the necessary voltage levels for the SCRs to switch the current.

Once the signal passes the turn-on voltage threshold, the SCRs will turn on and begin to pass current through the module. This signals to the logic circuit that the current needs to be switched off, and when the turn-off voltage is reached, the SCRs will switch off the current. The current-handling capacity of the SCRs will depend on the type of component used and the voltage rating. Generally, the ratings will range from 20 to 50 A per SCR.

Conclusion

The MCC 72-16IO1B is a module that is made up of sixteen SCRs and is used for various applications such as home automation, industrial control and automation, and regulating electricity transfer. The module is controlled by external logic signals, which passes through a voltage regulator before it reaches the SCRs. The turn-on voltage will be less than 1V, and the turn-off voltage will be more than 2V to trigger the SCRs, and they are capable of handling currents up to 50 A per SCR.
