AS400X Datasheet (PowerSem) - Thyristor Trigger Module

AS400X, Thyristor Trigger Module

of operation The thyristor is triggered by deriving the gate current from the anode of the device.

Current flow is initiated by an opto-coupler which provides the electrical isolation.

By maintaining the gate current long enough to reach the latching current, the system can be safely used in applica
