| Abstract |
A New High Power Device, GCT(Qate Commutated Turn-off) thyristor has a quite different turn-off operation principle to the GTO. In the GCT thyristor, all main current during turn-off operation is commutated to the gate. This brings many advantage compared with the GTO.
Its superior characteristics facilitate the change from the GTO to the GCT thyristor and enable the high power application area to be increased widely. This paper presents the special construction,
features, and new technologies of this GCT thyristor and the new soft recovery Diodes which can be used with the GCT thyristor. |
