Working Principle

The MCD225-12IO1 is designed to offer fast switching and low losses. It works by controlling the flow of electric current between two points in an electrical system. When a voltage is applied to the thyristor, the gate triggers the SCR, allowing current to flow through the SCR. The BJT is controlled by the IGBTs which modulate the flow of current across the thyristor.

The MCD225-12IO1 can also be used to protect electrical circuits from overvoltage or reverse current. The SCR can be used to switch off the circuit if it detects an undesired voltage or current. This ensures that the circuit remains safe and reliable during operation.
