Integrated gate-commutated thyristor

Pankaj Electronics makes Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) that is the cost-effective megawatt power switch for medium-voltage power applications. IGCT brings together a versatile new power handling device (GCT, Gate-Commutated Thyristor) and the device control circuitry in an integrated package. This advanced high-power semiconductor sets new performance standards for power, reliability, speed, efficiency, cost, weight and compact construction. Applications: Industrial drive motors, Traction and ship propulsion, Industrial VAR compensators, Transmission lines and Power flow controllers for utilities. Technical specifications: Wafer diameter: 38, 51, 68 and 91 mm Turn-off current: 200 to 4000A Blocking voltage: 4.5 to 6.9 kV Switching at high frequency Low switching and on-state losses Availability for most medium-voltage levels Safe from catastrophic failure Proven reliability Integrated diode and gate unit for low parts count Suitable for series and parallel connection Allows compact and modular equipment design Reduced cabling and interconnection Application-ready modules
