VS-VSKT56/10

VS-VSKT56/10 application field and working principle

VS-VSKT56/10 Thyristors are widely used in AC power controllers, DC power controllers, and thermal overload relays. It is a high power industrial grade thyristor unit with a rated voltage of 560V and a rated output of 10A. As a part of the industrial thyristor product line, the part includes not just the thyristor itself but also the separate power converter connected to the thyristor in order to convert the AC or DC input voltage to the desired DC or AC output voltage.

This device is most widely used in various applications such as UPS, inverter, induction heating, motor control and as an overload relay for AC loads. It also has an extra advantage of being operable at low input voltages, making it suitable for low power applications. Overall, the device has excellent energy efficiency and power performance for use in industrial applications.

The working principle of the VS-VSKT56/10 is relatively simple. The anode and cathode terminals of the device are connected to a power source which can be either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) and the control terminal is connected to the control logic. A control signal is used to trigger the device and cause it to switch on when the voltage reaches the certain level across the terminals.

Upon receiving the control signal, the device will conduct in the forward direction and soon establish a regime in which the entire load current is shared between the anode and cathode terminals and will remain in this regime until the control signal is removed. The switching frequency of the device is determined by the control signal and can range from very low frequencies for slow-speed applications such as UPS to very high frequencies for high-speed motor control applications.

The VS-VSKT56/10 is designed for industrial use and is rated for operating temperature from -40 to +85°C. It is designed with a glass shell for improved dissipating and with galvanized metal pins for improved reliability. The device is also designed for easy installation and is fitted with easy-to-use mounting brackets for optional use.

The VS-VSKT56/10 is one of the most widely used thyristors in the industry due to its high power output, high reliability and low cost. The device is suitable for many other industrial applications and offers an affordable and reliable solution to most AC control and DC control applications.
