Thyristors are commonly utilized to provide transient voltage protection, and the P4802AC is no exception. This device is a two-terminal Reverse Polarity Thyristor (RPT) with an on-chip integrated gate loop for dynamic triggering. The P4802AC is designed to protect against excessive inrush current, overvoltage, and other transient events in AC systems.

This device provides stability and reliability in DC to AC motor drives, rigid and flexible DC bus circuits, and IGBT & MOSFET circuit applications. The P4802AC is constructed of both anode and cathode electrodes to provide highly accurate detection and blocking of transient voltages. These devices are also characterized by their reverse-blocking ability, which allows them to block off-state voltages in reverse polarity.

Due to its unique features, the P4802AC is now widely used in various AC applications as it provides a high level of protection against multiple overvoltage-induced transients. It features a very low leakage current of less than 1uA at 25°C. This makes it ideal for applications that require protection from sudden voltage spikes. Furthermore, the reverse-blocking voltage ratings range from 600V to 1200V, and the gate current threshold is adjustable allowing for dynamic and precise triggering.

Working principle of P4802AC

The P4802AC uses both an anode and a cathode electrode, which enable it to both breakdown and block excessive voltages. When a reverse-blocking voltage spikes beyond the device\'s rated voltage rating, the P4802AC will enter its non-conducting state, providing the necessary protection for the circuit. The P4802AC\'s integrated gate loop has been designed to provide rapid, and reliable triggering at a specified gate current level. This threshold current is adjustable, and can be modulated to match the behavior of the circuit it is protecting.

When the spike voltage reaches or exceeds the rated voltage, the P4802AC\'s on-chip gate loop is triggered, allowing the device to enter its breakdown state. As the spike voltage stoops, the current passing through the device will also drop, allowing the P4802AC to return to its blocked-off state. This cycle helps protect the circuit from further damage and corrects any incorrect flow of current.

Conclusion

The P4802AC is a popular two-terminal Reverse Polarity Thyristor, designed to protect AC systems from excessive inrush current and overvoltage. It does this through its unique anode and cathode electrodes and integrated gate loop, allowing it to rapidly breakdown and block current whenever a surge or voltage spike surpasses its threshold rating. The P4802AC is an ideal choice for applications that require precision and stability, and is the perfect choice for protecting AC circuits.
