A new current source converter using a symmetric gate commutated thyristor (SGCT)
Abstract
Extensive semiconductor development has gone into both bipolar and MOS structures for medium voltage (MV) applications. However the progression of MOS structures in MV applications has been difficult and the issues of module isolation, reliability, and dv/dt and motor/bearing life continue to limit its acceptance in these applications. A more suitable device structure and the natural choice for MV applications is the bipolar thyristor …
