Abstract: Since thyristors have better performance than fully controllable devices in terms of on-state resistance and cost, designing thyristor-based solid-state circuit breakers (TSCBs) to protect ...
The collector current must go above a specific threshold (ICE) for this to happen. Even though the gate potential falls below the gate emitter threshold voltage, the IGBT will not turn off since the ...
Abstract: Integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT) is a promising device in high-power applications thanks to its low on-state voltage, large surge capacity and considerably low cost ratio. However ...
