Abstract

Two cathode design concepts of phase control thyristor (PCT) are compared for 6.5 kV class in the housing with 47mm pole piece (5STP 08F6500). For the same technology curve VT-Qrr, the achievement of different combination of dynamic parameters like commutation turn-off time tq, dV/dt and di/dt capability are discussed. This work expands the know-how on the cathode emitter engineering previously presented for 1.8, 2.8 and 8.5 kV voltage classes

Keywords:
