Construction Elements
Thyristor Module – an electronic device containing one or more thyristors integrated into a single housing with control and cooling components. It is used for switching and regulating power in high-voltage and high-current electrical circuits.
How Does a Thyristor Module Work?
The switching module is an electro-technical device that performs controlled switching on, off, or transferring between electrical circuits. Its operating principle is based on the thyristor functioning as an electronic switch, turning the current in the load on or off when a control signal is applied.
