Thyristors are solid-state semiconductor devices that work by regulating the current flow between two or more terminals. They are usually used in power electronics applications such as rectifiers, inverters, and motor control circuits. In this article, we will focus on the application field and working principle of the VS-VSKT250-20PBF, a type of thyristor module manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor.

The VS-VSKT250-20PBF is a single-phase Thyristor Module, designed to provide overcurrent and overvoltage protection. It has a maximum carrying current rating of 200 A (RMS) and a maximum voltage rating of 1000 V. Typical applications include medium-voltage power supplies, power factor correction circuits, and variable frequency drive (VFD) circuit protection.

The module is made up of two SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) thyristors connected in reverse parallel, with both the anode and cathode connected to a single terminal. Each thyristor has an internal gate open and closed switch, which allows the current to be switched on and off. In operation, the voltages across each thyristor are controlled using a gate voltage. When the voltage reaches the set value, the thyristors start to conduct, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the current reaches the upper limit, the thyristors turn off, blocking the current until the gate voltage reaches the lower limit. This process is repeated continuously, providing a safe and efficient way of controlling the current.

The VS-VSKT250-20PBF also has a built-in over current protection feature. This feature allows for the detection of an overcurrent before damage is done to either the thyristors or the connected components. If the current exceeds the preset level, the module will shut off the current and reset itself, protecting both the device and the connected components.

The VS-VSKT250-20PBF is a robust and reliable Thyristor Module, suitable for a wide range of applications. Its overcurrent and overvoltage protection features provide added protection against electrical mishaps, while its reverse parallel connection ensures maximum efficiency and reliability. As a result, the VS-VSKT250-20PBF is an ideal choice for applications that require precise current control.
