S4X8TSRP

Thyristors - SCRs

A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is a form of thyristor, a three-terminal power semiconductor device with an internal gate for control. It is a unidirectional device, which passes current in one direction only. An SCR consists of four layers of alternating N type and P type silicon. It is often referred to as a “controlled rectifier” since its operation as a switch is controlled by a signal at its gate terminal. The SCR can be used as a switch and it can be used to control the speed of a motor, dim the brightness of a light and also for numerous other applications.

S4X8TSRP is a hybrid thyristor module designed for heavy-duty and safety applications in the market. It has a specially designed construction that pursues both design flexibility and reliability. It has a built-in control circuit that detects the current, the temperature and faults during operation. This built-in control circuit helps avoid damage to equipment, prolong the life of components and reduce labor costs. The device is used in a range of applications, including renewable energy, electrical drives, power factor correction, medium voltage circuit boards, and home appliances.

The working principle of S4X8TSRP is based on the use of semi-conductor thyristors. A thyristor is a three-terminal solid-state device made of four semiconductor layers. It works in a complementary fashion, and when a control pulse is applied to its gate terminal, the thyristor’s switched-on and allows current to flow through its main terminals. When the control pulse is removed, the thyristor’s cut off and the current is stopped. The device is designed to have fast switching characteristics and low power consumption, and thanks to its built-in control circuit, it can be used in a wide range of applications and different power levels.
