Thyristors are components that are used to control high-power, high-voltage electrical signals. They have the capability to hold off high voltage spikes and to start up a controlled electrical current flow. SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) are a type of thyristor widely used for motor control, synchronous rectification, and high voltage power supply applications. The VHF36-16IO5 module is one example of an SCR and the following paragraphs discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The VHF36-16IO5 is suitable for applications up to 1200V and 1200A. It is a three-phase bridge with individual phase control (IO5) and features a surge energy of 105J. It provides tight gate current control through its embedded safeguards, a fast IGBT gate driver, and an open-gate indication indicator.

It is suitable for various applications such as motor control, battery charger, solar inverter, wind turbine, welder, and adjustable frequency drives. Its fast switching speed and low on-state voltage drop makes it an ideal choice for power factor correction, light dimmers, and high-current switching applications.

Working Principle

The VHF36-16IO5 is constructed of two diodes connected in anti-parallel fashion, also known as a diode bridge, on the positive and negative terminals and a SCR between them. When the gate of the SCR is biased, the SCR turns on and the current flows. When the current reaches the breakdown voltage of the SCR, the current is then carried by the SCR instead of the diodes.

The VHF36-16IO5 is triggered by a gate pulse. The voltage across the gate permits the SCR to turn on, allowing the current flow to a load or a reactive energy to be stored. The circuit also features a surge voltage clamping array to protect the SCR and gate driver against high voltage spikes. This is done by clamping the incoming voltage to a value below the SCR break down voltage by inserting a series diode in the path of the had of the SCR.

One of the major advantages of the VHF36-16IO5 is its fast switching time. SCR switching times are typically much faster than those of semiconductor devices like bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). The VHF36-16IO5 is capable of switching within 5-20µS. This makes it suitable for applications where it is necessary to react quickly to incoming signals, such as in motor control and frequency drives.

Conclusion

The VHF36-16IO5 is an SCR module featuring fast switching times and protection against high voltage spikes. Its application field includes motor control, light dimmers, welder, solar inverter, adjustable frequency drives, and power factor correction. Its working principle consists of two diodes in anti-parallel, a SCR, and a gate pulse which triggers the SCR. Its fast switching time and low on-state voltage drop makes it an ideal choice for various power control applications.
