Lecture 2. Power semiconductor devices (Power switches)
www.philadelphia.edu.joPower semiconductor switches are the work-horses of power electronics (PE). There are several power semiconductors devices currently involved in several industrial applications. PE switches works in two states only: Fully on (conducting, and Fully off (blocking) . Switches are very important and crucial components in power electronic systems ...

Power Semiconductor Switching Devices
www.egr.unlv.edu• Power semiconductor devices first appeared in 1952 with the introduction of the power diode. • The thyristor appeared in 1957. Thyristors are able to withstand very high reverse breakdown voltage and are also capable of carrying high current. One disadvantage of the thyristor is that once it is in the
