Thyristor Theory and Design Considerations
Theory and Design ConsiderationsHandbookHBD855/DRev. 1, Nov 2006 SCILLC, 2005 Previous Edition 2005 as Excerpted from DL137/D All Rights Reserved 2 ABOUT THYRISTORST hyristors can take many forms, but they have certainthings in common. All of them are solid state switcheswhich act as open circuits capable of withstanding therated voltage until triggered. When they are triggered,thyristors become low impedance current paths andremain in that condition until the current either stops ordrops below a minimum value called the holding a Thyristor has been triggered, the trigger current canbe removed without turning off the controlled rectifiers (SCRs) and triacs are bothmembers of the Thyristor family.
Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) and triacs are both members of the thyristor family. SCRs are unidirectional devices where triacs are bidirectional. An SCR is designed to switch load current in one direction, while a triac is designed to conduct load current in either direction. Structurally, all thyristors consist of several alternating
