Solid State High Power Pulse Switching
Abstract
In this paper, the structural features and the methods of turning on high power thyristors, reverse blocking diode thyristors and light activated silicon switches are reviewed. The advantages and limitations of these devices are described together with a description of the performance achieved to date by the various devices. Finally, the operation of these devices in series strings to form high power switching modules is described.
