Power Electronics: Thyristor Controlled Power for Electric Motors

by Raymond Ramshaw

Book Overview

The following pages are meant for those who wish to use thyristors. The details of the physics of semiconductor materials or the design of thyristors themselves are unnecessary here but a general description of the device may help to avoid pitfalls during electric circuit design. Thyristor is the internationally recognized name for a particular semi- conductor device. The name is derived from the Greek, the first part meaning switch and the second...
