• Low switching voltage drop.
• Capable of controlling peak currents up to 2000 A.
• High blocking voltage up to 15 kV.

Application Field

The P0900EBRP1 is mainly used in electric welding, rectification of high-power and high-voltage current, in motor soft starting and various kinds of control engineering. It is suitable to be used in power conversion systems and other industrial and automotive applications.

Working Principle

The P0900EBRP1 is based on the principle of a two-domain thyristor switch. It consists of two semiconductor switches. When the gate circuit supplies a signal to the P0900EBRP1, the switch between the two semiconductors opens and the current can flow through. Once the gate circuit has been removed the switch closes again and the current is stopped.

The P0900EBRP1 can handle up to 750 A of continuous current, offering a very fast and reliable switch that can control high power loads safely and efficiently.
