T10B180B

Thyristor refers to a semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type materials layered into an integrated structure, including gate, anode, and cathode. T10B180B refers to a type of thyristors, which contains three pins: gate, anode and cathode. This type of thyristor features high withstanding voltage, as well as good temperature, overload, and surge protections.

The application field of T10B180B is mainly in the area of medium voltage inverter welding machine. In 1995, Taiwan Inverter used the T10B180B thyristor as its main control device. Currently, T10B180B thyristor is widely used in high grade inverter welding machine, as well as many other kinds of welding machines, owing to its high reliability and withstanding voltage.

T10B180B thyristor belongs to the family of silicon controlled rectifier. It mainly works on the principle of PNPN structure. It mostly consists of NPN and PNP junctions, where both junctions can be connected together to form a three-layer device. When the gate of the thyristor is triggered, this creates an electrical current across the anode and cathode, which then results in a large current flow. This is known as turn-on, and it is the principle behind thyristor.

Moreover, T10B180B thyristors also provide over-voltage protection, as their structure helps the device regulate the current, and reduce the output voltage to a lower level in order to avoid damaging the circuit and other components.

Furthermore, T10B180B thyristors are also capable of withstanding high temperatures and have excellent temperature protection due to their construction. This makes it ideal for inverter welding machines, as the high temperature environment in these machines can cause conventional thyristors to become inherently unreliable.

Finally, with the ability of the thyristor to regulate the output current, it is also highly efficient in terms of energy usage. This makes it a great choice for high grade inverter welding machines, as it helps to save energy, while also being highly reliable.

In conclusion, T10B180B thyristors have a number of excellent advantages that make them well suited for use in inverter welding machines. Their high withstanding voltage, temperature protection, and energy efficiency make them ideal for welding applications. And with their PNPN structure, they are able to provide excellent current regulation and voltage protection.
