T607081864BT

Thyristors, commonly known as SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers), are semiconductor devices that act as excellent switches. They can control the current and voltage supplied to a load and are mainly used for power switching applications, such as motor drive systems, inverters, etc. One such example is the T607081864BT thyristor, which is widely used in various industrial and residential applications.

Application Field

The T607081864BT thyristor is mainly used in applications requiring high current and/or voltage output and is suitable for motor drive systems, UPS systems, high voltage power supplies and inverters. T607081864BT thyristors are available in both standard (60 amperes, 256 volts) and mini housing (40 amperes, 180 volts) versions and are commonly used in motor control and power supply systems such as intrusion detection systems and motion control systems.

T607081864BT thyristors also have a wide range of applications in various other industries, such as medical, automotive and commercial lighting. The device is designed for use in extreme environment applications, such as aerospace and military. Moreover, it is also widely used in high-reliability industrial control systems and is preferred for their long term and reliable performance.

Working Principle

The T607081864BT thyristor operates on the principle of an SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier). A voltage is applied to the gate of the thyristor, which creates a hole tunneling effect between the N-type and P-type electrodes. When the required gate current is set, a positive voltage is applied to the gate causing it to turn on and allow current to pass through it, thus controlling the amount of current and voltage entering into the load.

When the current through the thyristor exceeds the set level, it is turned off and the gate current is blocked. This prevents any further current or voltage entering through the device thereby protecting the devices connected to it. Furthermore, the device has a built-in temperature sensor that shuts down the device when an overheat condition is detected.

Conclusion

The T607081864BT thyristor is a popular and reliable choice for controlling current and voltage in applications such as motor drive systems, UPS systems, high voltage power supplies and inverters. With its wide range of applications, it can be used in a variety of industrial and residential applications, making it an excellent choice for power switching and control.
