Firing Circuits: Gate triggering is the most commonly used turn-on method employed to switch on the thyristors. Triggering circuits is also called firing circuits. There are various firing circuits available.
Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor (IGBTs) are normally classified into two types. They are namely (i) Non Punch Through IGBT [NPT-IGBT] (ii) Punch Through [PT-IGBT]. These IGBTs are also referred
SCR Switching Characteristics or Dynamic Characteristics: The switching characteristics are important particularly at high-frequency, to define the device velocity in changing from conduction state to blocking state and vice versa.
Triggering (Turn on) Methods of Thyristor: Triggering:- The turning on Process of the SCR is known as Triggering. In other words, turning the SCR from Forward-Blocking state to Forward-Conduction state
