Benefits of using the Active Trigger Unit
Reduced Costs
- Requires no gate drive power
- Triggers any thyristor
- Reduced printed circuit board cost due to its small footprint and the elimination of the gate drive power supply
- Fully tested product
- Simplifies logistics as it triggers any size thyristor
Compact
- Reduces the control card size because of its small footprint and the absence of a gate drive power supply
Simple Design
- Replaces many traditional components
High Reliability
- Superior electrical isolation
- Performs well in very harsh industrial environments
High Performance
- Handles any inductive or high di/dt load due to powerful gate pulse
Trends in the marketplace
- Supports the trend away from magnetics using the latest technology
