thyristor module
The thyristor module is a sophisticated electronic component designed for the control of electric current, voltage, and power. At its core, this module functions primarily as a high-power semiconductor switch capable of handling large currents and voltages. Technological features of the thyristor module include its four-layer, three-terminal structure which allows it to conduct current in only one direction, and its ability to be triggered into conduction by a small pulse of current. This component is also equipped with excellent thermal characteristics, enabling it to dissipate heat efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining performance and longevity in various applications. The thyristor module finds extensive use in power electronics, including in electric power transmission, circuit breakers, voltage regulation, and in the control of electric motors and heating elements.
