Thyristor Firing Types Explained
When deciding which thyristor is best for your process, you will need to consider a number of factors such as the load amperage and type, but a major one is which firing type you need. This sometimes confuses people as they think that thyristors just switch power on and off which is essentially true but at what phase of the cycle they do this can have a huge impact on their usage.
Is Gas or Electricity the Best Way to Heat an Industrial Oven?
Gas vs electricity for your industrial oven. Cost, precision, & safety are just a few of the considerations to take into account when choosing between gas & electricity. Discover more here with CD Automation.
An Introduction to Thyristors and Power Control
Often confused with transistors and sometimes referred to as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), thyristors perform vital functions in AC circuits and are used extensively in industry due to their robustness and reliability.
