DV/DT Limitation of SCRs

DV/DT Limitation of SCRs

The offered range is known for enhancing the Dv/Dt capability of SCRs to avoid false firing which may be disastrous in some applications. This range is also known for designing and studying various snubber circuits to improve the Dv/Dt capability of thyristors.

Objects:

• Test dv/dt estimation of the SCR
• Compare Dv/Dt capability by gate-cathode terminations
• Compare Dv/Dt capability by gate-cathode biasing (voltage biasing)
• Compare Dv/Dt capability by gate-cathode biasing (current biasing)
• To improve Dv/Dt capability by transistor snubber circuit
• Effect of R.C. snubber circuit on Dv/Dt capability
• Study of different scheme of R.C. Snubber circuit on Dv/Dt capability
