A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...

IXYS introduces a new 2.2kV sysmetrical blocking distributed gate thyristor that complement the asymmetric blocking R1700MC device. The device features current rating of 1605 amperes which is 25% more ...

The collaboration addresses one of the most significant challenges in large-scale electrification: reducing energy losses and ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA) have developed a high-power semiconductor switch that provides fast voltage support in transmission and distribution grids. A hybrid of a gate-turn-off ...
