Thyristor

Thyristors are a kind of semiconductor device. They have the same characteristics as solid-state components made of silicon, such as transistors and diodes. This, at times, makes it difficult to distinguish between thyristors and the other products. There are different types of thyristors available, and you can get some of the best products on Heatcon. What differentiates one thyristor from another could be a small detail. These helps design specific circuits. It is, therefore, necessary to know the features, drawbacks, and the relationship of the thyristor with the circuit to make things work smoothly.

A thyristor has four layers, which alternate between the P-type and the N-type of semiconductors. The most basic thyristors have three terminals. It includes the negative terminal or cathode, the positive terminal or anode, and the gate terminal or the control terminal. The thyristor primarily acts as a switch that controls the flow of electric power and functions as a switch. The device is used in diverse electric circuits, ranging from power transmission lines to something like alarms. Heatcon manufactures advanced and quality thyristors used across a wide range of industries for different functions.

Applications of Thyristors

Thyristors are integral to a range of industrial and commercial applications, including power rectification, voltage regulation, and phase control. They are particularly valuable in environments requiring precise power management, making them indispensable in industries like automation, HVAC, and manufacturing.

Salient Features of Thyristors

SOFT START and SOFT END: In soft start the output is given to the load in an exponential manner. This feature prevents excess flow current to the devices.

OVER-LOAD TRIP: Over-Load trip can be set from 110% to 200% of the output value. If any over-load happens, the output will be disabled.

AUTOMATIC RESET : When Over-Load trip occurs, in 3 seconds of delay thyristor again starts naturally and provides output. If Over-Load trip happens more than 3 times in a span of 10 minutes, the output will be disabled permanently.

RESET SWITCH : If any problem occurs in the output or input, the output will be disabled. You need to fix the problem and press the reset button.

ENABLE SWITCH: Optional Enable Switch is also facilitated.
