The MT60C16T1BP is a thyristor module available from Microsemi, and is part of their range of Fast Recovery Modules. This module is composed of 16 individual silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) in a single package, and is commonly used in applications where high power handling capability and fast switching is required.

Application Field

The MT60C16T1BP has numerous applications in industrial and commercial settings. It is often used to control operation in motors, power supplies, AC drives, lighting systems, and other high power control applications in which fast switching is required. It can also be used in over-voltage protection and soft starters for motors, and can be used for controlling electric heaters, heating elements and furnaces.

Working Principle

At its most basic level, the MT60C16T1BP works by triggering an electric circuit to completion when there is a high enough voltage applied. This is done through the SCRs within the module, which serves to control the current flow as well as switching the circuit on and off. This can be used for simple on-off control of high-power motors, or to control the speed of a motor, as in the case of AC drives.

When the MT60C16T1BP is used in an AC drive circuit, the SCRs act as switches, controlling the DC current and creating a variable frequency AC output. This AC output can then be used to control the speed of the motor, as a variable frequency drive. The thyristor module is used to switch the voltage and current off and on, depending on the desired speed of the motor.

The MT60C16T1BP can also be used for overload protection, when power surges occur. This involves the module’s SCRs, which can be set to prevent any current from flowing, thus shutting off the circuit to protect it from damage.

Overall, the MT60C16T1BP is a versatile and powerful device, which can be used for a range of applications, from motor speed control to overload protection. It is an essential component of many industrial and commercial applications, and is capable of providing fast, accurate control.
