Objectives:
Learn the scope and application of power electronics Become familiar with different types of power semiconductor devices, their characteristics and use Understand the fundamental techniques of power conversion
The features of the most common types of semiconductor power device are
Forced-commutated thyristors Line-commutated thyristors Gate turn off thyristors (GTO) - forced turned-off device. Reverse conducting thyristors (RCT) - can be considered as a thyristor with an inverse parallel diode, used for high speed switching. Static induction thyristors (SITH) - self turned-off device. Gate assisted turn-off thyristors (GATT) - used for high speed switching. Light activated silicon-controlled rectifier (LASCR) MOS-controlled thyristors (MCTs)
