Thyristors are semiconductor devices that can be turned on under specific external conditions. To activate a thyristor, it must have a forward voltage applied to its anode and a positive control signal at the gate. Once the thyristor is turned on, the gate no longer has any influence until the anode current drops below the holding current, which typically happens when the AC supply crosses zero. This characteristic makes thyristors ideal for applications like AC power control and rectification.
The gate's role in controlling the thyristor is limited to triggering it into conduction. After that, the gate becomes inactive, and the thyristor remains on as long as the anode current stays above the holding level. Therefore, the gate control circuit is commonly referred to as a "trigger circuit." A well-designed trigger circuit ensures reliable operation of the thyristor under various conditions.
The basic requirements for a thyristor trigger circuit include:
- Trigger Signal Type: The trigger signal can be AC, DC, or pulse-based. However, it must only be active when the gate is positively biased relative to the cathode. Pulse signals are often used to minimize gate losses and improve efficiency. Common waveforms include square pulses, triangular waves, or sinusoidal signals depending on the application.
- Sufficient Power: The trigger pulse must have enough voltage and current to overcome the gate threshold. Due to variations in thyristor characteristics and temperature sensitivity, the trigger signal should be designed with a safety margin to ensure reliable triggering. However, it must not exceed the maximum allowable gate voltage (typically less than 10V) or current (usually under 10A).
- Phase Shift Range: The phase shift range of the trigger pulse depends on the type of converter circuit and the load. For example, a three-phase half-wave rectifier may require a phase shift of up to 150°, while a fully controlled rectifier with resistive load usually needs a 120° range. In more complex configurations, such as a three-phase full-bridge converter operating in both rectification and inverter modes, the phase shift can extend up to 180°, though practical limits often reduce this range.
- Pulse Width and Steepness: The width of the trigger pulse must be sufficient to ensure that the anode current reaches the holding level before the pulse ends. For resistive loads, a minimum pulse width of 10 μs is typical, while inductive loads may require wider pulses, up to 100 μs. The leading edge of the pulse should be steep—ideally steeper than 10 V/μs or 800 mA/μs—to ensure simultaneous triggering of multiple thyristors connected in parallel or series.
- Synchronization: The trigger pulse must be synchronized with the main AC supply voltage to ensure consistent timing and stable operation. This synchronization is crucial for maintaining the correct phase relationship between the trigger signal and the main circuit, especially in applications involving power conversion or motor control.
In real-world applications, additional considerations such as noise immunity, temperature stability, and component tolerances must also be taken into account. A well-designed trigger circuit ensures that the thyristor operates reliably and efficiently across a wide range of conditions, making it a critical component in many power electronics systems.
