RS3G-M3/9AT

The RS3G-M3/9AT diode is a specification of a single-phase thyristorised voltage regulator, suitable for the regulation of AC voltages of up to 890 volts. The RS3G-M3/9AT series of diodes are suitable for many applications, particularly those in which relatively high power regulation needs to be carried out. They are commonly used in the regulation of applications such as HVAC systems, and for the protection of equipment against power surges.

The RS3G-M3/9AT diode provides superior performance in terms of current handling capabilities and thermal stability. It is a housed, surface-mounted device and is designed for quick and easy installation. The device has a compact size, allowing for installation in restricted spaces. The design of the device also helps to avoid mechanical noises due to the provision of an additional EMI gasket. The RS3G-M3/9AT also offers a much higher power range, making it suitable for use in larger applications. The device uses a proprietary control system to control AC voltages and limit the peak current. This system also provides protection against DC offset and voltage transients.

The working principle of the RS3G-M3/9AT diode is relatively simple. The device regulates the applied AC voltage by ‘rectifying’ it. Rectifier diodes are designed to allow current to flow in one direction only, by conducting in the forward direction, and blocking in the reverse direction. The RS3G-M3/9AT can be connected in series with existing AC circuits, allowing it to regulate the current. The device has two thyristor devices which are used to regulate the current flow. These devices act similarly to transistors, where one acts as the ‘on’ switch and the other as the ‘off’ switch. This allows the device to switch on and off very quickly, allowing for very precise control.

The RS3G-M3/9AT diode is an effective and reliable voltage regulating solution. It is suitable for many applications, including those in which large current handling is required. The device has a high power range, and its control system enables accurate regulation of AC voltages. The device is typically used in HVAC systems, to provide protection against power surges and over-voltage at power-up. The RS3G-M3/9AT is a compact, easy to install solution, capable of achieving superior performance and reliability.
