  2. Thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...

  3. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    At sufficient voltages, the thyristor changes to its on state with low voltage drop and large forward current. In this case, J1 and J3 are already forward- biased . In order for gate triggering to occur, the thyristor should be in the forward blocking state where the applied voltage is less than the breakdown voltage, otherwise forward-voltage ...

    HTML Form format HTML 4.01 Specification since PDF 1.5; HTML 2.0 since 1.2 Forms Data Format (FDF) based on PDF, uses the same syntax and has essentially the same file structure, but is much simpler than PDF since the body of an FDF document consists of only one required object. Forms Data Format is defined in the PDF specification (since PDF 1.2).

  5. Voltage controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_controller

    A Voltage controller thyristor based dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer. A voltage controller, also called an AC voltage controller or AC regulator is an electronic module based on either thyristors, triodes for alternating current, silicon-controlled rectifiers or insulated-gate bipolar transistors, which converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-controlled_reactor

    A TCR thyristor valve (one phase) TCR thyristor valve voltage and current waveforms In addition to the thyristors themselves, each inverse-parallel pair of thyristors has a resistor - capacitor circuit connected across it, to force the voltage across the valve to divide uniformly amongst the thyristors and to damp the "commutation overshoot ...

  7. Thyristor power controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor_power_controller

    The thyristor power controller switches 60% of the solid waves to the load while blocking 40%. The operating mode is to be regarded as unproblematic. Only in the case of a too weakly designed network, it is possible for illuminating installations which are connected to the same network to have undesired luminance fluctuations (flicker effect).

  8. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    Thyristors are used in various classes of railway rolling stock systems so that fine control of the traction motors can be achieved. Gate turn-off thyristors are used to produce alternating current from a DC supply, for example on the Eurostar Trains to power the three-phase traction motors .

  9. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    Diode (all types, including LED), thyristor "D" is preferred for various types of diodes DL: Delay line: DN: Diode network: may be simplified to "D" for diode DS: Display, general light source, lamp, signal light: F: Fuse: FB: Ferrite bead: sometimes changed to "L" for inductor, though "E" was used in the currently inactive standard IEEE 315 ...
