  2. Integrated gate-commutated thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_gate-commutated...

    Electronic symbol. The integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT) is a power semiconductor electronic device, used for switching electric current in industrial equipment. It is related to the gate turn-off (GTO) thyristor. It was jointly developed by Mitsubishi and ABB. [1] Like the GTO thyristor, the IGCT is a fully controllable power switch ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_controller

    A Voltage controller thyristor based dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer. A voltage controller, also called an AC voltage controller or AC regulator is an electronic module based on either thyristors, triodes for alternating current, silicon-controlled rectifiers or insulated-gate bipolar transistors, which converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency ...

  4. Thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    The thyristor is a four-layered, three-terminal semiconductor device, with each layer consisting of alternating N-type or P-type material, for example P-N-P-N. The main terminals, labelled anode and cathode, are across all four layers. The control terminal, called the gate, is attached to p-type material near the cathode.

  5. TRIAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

    TRIAC. For other uses, see Triac. A TRIAC (triode for alternating current; also bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor[ 1 ]) is a three-terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered. The term TRIAC is a genericised trademark. TRIACs are a subset of thyristors (analogous to a relay ...

    e. A Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) is a family of Power-Electronic based devices designed for use on an Alternating Current (AC) Transmission System to improve and control Power Flow and support Voltage. FACTs devices are alternatives to traditional electric grid solutions and improvements, where building additional ...

  8. Phase-fired controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-fired_controller

    Phase-fired control (PFC) is often used to control the amount of voltage, current or power that a power supply feeds to its load. It does this to create an average value at its output. If the supply has a DC output, its time base is of no importance in deciding when to pulse the supply on or off, as the value that will be pulsed on and off is ...

  9. Thyratron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyratron

    Reference 2D21 tube is 2 ⅛ inches tall (54 mm). A thyratron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a high-power electrical switch and controlled rectifier. Thyratrons can handle much greater currents than similar hard-vacuum tubes. Electron multiplication occurs when the gas becomes ionized, producing a phenomenon known as a Townsend discharge.
