N018GAML Application Field and Working Principle

N018GAML is a type of SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) thyristor created by General Electric Company. It is completely made of silicon with a relatively low breakdown voltage and high current capacity. It is mainly used in industrial control and automation, with emphasis on motor control applications and also serves as a replacement for vacuum tubes in some cases.

The N018GAML is a four-layer SCR made up of a single silicon layer, two metal layers and two dielectric layers. The electric charge that is created within the silicon layer of the device is the key to its working principle. When this charge accumulates to a certain amount, the device’s SCR is turned on and is able to provide current to the load.

The N018GAML has a very wide range of applications because of its relative low-cost. Apart from being a replacement for vacuum tubes in some cases, it is also used in controlling motor-driven equipment, controlling power tools and electric motors, fast acting rectification, battery charger control, and various other applications.

Unlike other types of SCRs, the N018GAML is relatively easy to use and maintain because of its simple configuration and easy installation. It has been used extensively in industry and continues to be a very important component in many applications.

The N018GAML is considered to be one of the most reliable SCRs available and it has good thermal resistance and relatively low power consumption. The N018GAML is also highly reliable and can operate for a long time without any major problems. The device is designed for the purpose of controlling high currents and it can easily handle current loads from 35 amps to 5,000 amps.

The working principle of the N018GAML is based on the principle of controlling and managing the electric charge within the silicon layer. When this charge accumulates to a certain amount, the SCR is turned on and is able to provide current to the load. The device is also designed in such a way that it can be operated over a wide temperature range, so it is suitable for applications in both hot and cold environments.

Overall, the N018GAML is a very useful device with many applications in the field of motor control and automation. It is also a reliable, durable and efficient device that is capable of controlling high current with ease.
