SS13L MTG

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG (mono-common thyristor-gate rectifier) is one of the most commonly used devices in electronic power systems and industrial manufacturing. It is based on a thyristor-rectifier arrangement and comprises of a single-phase or three-phase bridge rectifier connected to a thyristor with a built-in gate. It is mainly used for controlling almost any form of electric supply and is highly preferred for its reliable performance, high efficiency and low maintenance cost.

Application Field of Single-Phase and Three-Phase SS13L MTG

Single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG is mainly used for controlling the electric supply of many industrial applications. Power control for airport runway lighting, traffic control systems and in home appliances like refrigerators, microwave ovens and washing machines, are some known applications where a single-phase or three-phase SS13L MTG is used extensively. Apart from these applications, they are also used in frequency control loops, water and sewage treatment plants, wind power systems and solar power systems.

Working Principle of Single-Phase and Three-Phase SS13L MTG

Single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG works on the same principle as a common thyristor rectifier. The power to the load is supplied using a thyristor and a built-in gate connection. The thyristor is responsible for determining the parameters for the power flow i.e. the current, voltage and power. The built-in gate connection gives and receives the control signals from the thyristor and provides switching between the power states and controlling the flow of power. The single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG ensures efficient operation and provides good switching control with improved performance and less power loss.

Single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG can be used to control power in different modes of operation, namely continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and hysteresis current control (HCC). In continuous conduction mode (CCM), the thyristor maintains a constant forward current and the voltage corresponds to the average load power. In discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), the thyristor gates a forward current only when the load crosses the current threshold value. In hysteresis current control (HCC), the thyristor gating is done based on the hysteresis region set between the upper and lower pre-defined current thresholds of the load.

Advantages of Single-Phase and Three-Phase SS13L MTG

Single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG offers numerous advantages, some of which are:

• High system efficiency and low maintenance costs
• High frequency operation and low power loss
• Compact size and simple construction
• Good switching control and improved performance
• Safe and reliable operation

Conclusion

Single-phase and three-phase SS13L MTG are widely used in industrial and electrical applications for power control. It has several advantages such as high efficiency, low power loss and low maintenance cost. It also provides good switching control and improved performance. Therefore, it is highly suitable for reliable and safe operation in almost any type of electric power system.
