What is the difference between a Shockley diode and a Shottky diode?

A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected. A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.

How would it be tomake use of Emitter Turn Off Thyristor for speed variation in Pump storage plant?

A thyristor can only control current, and an induction motor speed can only be controlled by the frequency of the supply, for instance if the frequency is 50Hz and it is a 4 pole motor the speed will be 1500 RPM but that is a rms speed the actual speed will be between 1200 and 1400 RPM and a 2 pole motor will run at 2 times that speed. To vary the speed of an induction motor one need to vary the frequency of the supply, the only way to do that is to rectify the mains voltage to DC and then invert it back to a variable AC voltage, preferably a sine wave, else the motor will be noisy. If it is a series motor with brushes the speed can be control d with a thyristor by varying the on cycle of the thyristor. To get a smoother run at low speed two thyristors should be used, one in the field circuit and one in the armature circuit.


What is conduction angle in thyristor?

not a clue a A: It all depends on the thyristor. There are no calculation involved not until you look up the thyristor specifications and decide on the load of the thyristor then you may calculate or more likely choose.


Turn off and turn off mechanism of thyristor?

The turn off and turn off mechanism of a thyristor can be best explained by the gate turn-off thyristor. The thyristor uses the reverse bias mechanism.


How does a thyristor function?

A thyristor is a semiconductor device which acts as a switch.


What is the function of thyristor?

Thyristor is a kind fast acting switch. These are fully controlled switches


What does forced commutation mean?

The term "Forced commutation" is used when a thyristor is turned off using external components. If a thyristor is used in a DC circuit, when first turned on, it will stay on until the current goes to zero. To turn off the thyristor it is possible to use a Forced commutation circuit. The circuit creates a reverse voltage over the thyristor (and a small reverse current) for a short time, but long enough to turn off the thyristor. A simple circuit consist of a precharged capacitor and a switch (e.g. another thyristor) parallel to the thyristor. When the switch is closed, the current is supplied by the capacitor for a short while. This cause a reversed voltage over the thyristor, and the thyristor is turned off.


Can we replace a thyristor by a mosfet?

No because a mosfet does not work the same as a thyristor. In a thyristor the current flows even when the gate pulse is removed, until the current stops. That is not the case for a FET.


What are the two conditions necessary for a thyristor to begin to conduct?

There are more than two conditions that can make a thyristor conduct, but the general (functional) ones are: 1) positive voltage form anode to cathode, and 2) a positive voltage on the trigger input (referenced to the cathode) for a standard polarity thyristor. Other conditions can be: A) Anode-Cathode Voltage exceeding thyristor witholding voltage. B) Overtemperature of the thyristor chip C) Faulty thyristor (can be caused by overloads)
