TRS716SS-20

TRS716SS-20 is a current-regulating power semiconductor module developed by Toshiba. This semiconductor module is designed to provide reliable switching and/or protection of power circuits under various working conditions, such as overvoltages, undervoltages, surges, and transients. This module is mainly used in applications such as switchgear, power meters, switchgear protection, lighting systems, power plants, motor controllers, and electrical energy systems.

The TRS716SS-20 is composed of a high reliable power module, a transformer, a protector, and a control circuit. The power module consists of N-channel MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors) and a cooling system for the module. The transformer is used to provide a typical current regulator which compensates for the load current. The protector circuit is used to protect the circuit from overcurrent, reverse current, and short circuit conditions. The control circuit is used to detect the current and temperature of the module and to adjust the power by monitoring the output current.

The working principle of the TRS716SS-20 is based on the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology. When the gate voltage is applied to the IGBT, electrons are injected through the gate oxide into the base region, and a closed channel is formed between the drain and source. Therefore, when the current flows through the channel, the transistor is turned ON. The IGBT also has a clamp structure which prevents high voltage spikes from damaging the device.

The TRS716SS-20 is suitable for use in various applications. It is designed to provide protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, surges and transients. In addition, it is suitable for controlling HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, lighting systems, motors, and power grids. The module is also designed to be used in switchgear and power plants, as well as in industrial and commercial applications.

The TRS716SS-20 is an important component of the power system. It is used to provide reliable protection from overvoltage, undervoltage, surges, and transients. It also provides control over power distribution systems and HVAC systems. Furthermore, it can be used in industrial and commercial applications where reliable switchgear and current regulation is required.
