The IGBT accounts for 27% of the power transistor market, second only to the power MOSFET (53%), and ahead of the RF amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%). [35] The IGBT is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial technology, the energy sector, aerospace electronic devices, and transportation.
The thyristor dominated the FACTs and HVDC world until the late 20th century, when the IGBT began to match its power ratings. [9] With the IGBT, the first voltage-sourced converters and STATCOMs began to enter the FACTs world. A prototype 1 MVAr STATCOM was described in a report by Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation in 1987. [10]

An IGCT is a special type of thyristor. It is made of the integration of the gate unit with the Gate Commutated Thyristor (GCT) wafer device. The close integration of the gate unit with the wafer device ensures fast commutation of the conduction current from the cathode to the gate. The wafer device is similar to a gate turn-off thyristor (GTO).
A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, which is a high-power (e.g. 1200 V AC) semiconductor device. It was invented by General Electric . [ 1 ] GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches which can be turned on and off by their gate lead.
One year ago today Philadelphia faced another mass shooting. Tuesday 4 July 2023 16:30, Ariana Baio. On 4 July 2022, the city of Philadelphia’s Independence Day celebration was marked by horror ...
A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...
The masked and heavily-armed suspect accused of killing five people in a mass shooting in the Kingsessing neighbourhood of Philadelphia has been identified as a 40-year-old with a history of gun ...
