Thyristors, or Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), are commonly used in a variety of fields, from motion control systems and electrical energy regulation to military and aerospace applications. MSTC60-16 is a thyristor module which is used in many complex applications. This module functions by controlling the movement of electrical energy through the circuit and allowing for efficient power management. Here, we will discuss the application field and working principle of MSTC60-16.

Application Field of MSTC60-16

The MSTC60-16 is a high power thyristor module, designed to be used in many application fields. It is mainly used in large motor controllers, generators, induction ovens, uninterruptible power supplies, power factor correction and lighting dimmer circuits. It is also used in welding machines, where the direct current must be precisely maintained and regulated throughout the operation in order to achieve a major effect. It can also be used in electric furnaces, where increased power and controllability are of key significance.

When used in electrical vehicles, MSTC60-16 thyristors can provide outstanding performance in terms of controlling the electric power. The module brings increased dynamic response time, better protection, and helps with prolonging the lifespan of the relay contacts. In addition, they can be used in many military and aerospace applications as they are resistant to lightning and can be equipped with an additional protection circuit.

Working Principle of MSTC60-16

The MSTC60-16 is a SCR module with four thyristors inside. All the thyristors have a common connection point called an anode, and four separate trigger terminals. These trigger terminals are connected to the control circuit for the current switching. When the control circuit is set correctly, the thyristors get turned on and will remain in that state until the control circuit excites the control element. When the proper current flows through the control element, the thyristor is turned off.

The thyristors are connected in a bridge configuration (diagram-1), and their outputs are connected to the load. The combination of the control circuit and the anode junctions enables the MSTC60-16 module to control either the current or the voltage that flows through the load. The module is connected in series with the load and the three-phase power supply, which enables it to be used in both high current and low voltage applications.

Furthermore, MSTC60-16 provides low thermal resistance, increasing its durability and performance. The module comes already pre-assembled, hence reducing the amount of wiring and assembly time. Its high temperature and voltage ratings make it suitable for handling higher load currents, and it has a short recovery time, which helps in improving power efficiency.

Conclusion

MSTC60-16 is a versatile thyristor module, widely used in various applications, from motion control systems and electrical energy regulation to military and aerospace applications. It is easy to install and use and provides outstanding performance in terms of controlling the electric power. The combination of the control circuit and the anode junctions inside the module empower it to control either the current or the voltage that flows through the load.
