What is the difference between thyristor fuse and normal fuse?

A: THYRISTOR can be used to clamp damaging energy as opposed to a fuse that must blow open and invariably takes time to blow. A thyristor is much faster and controllable actually if the problem disappear it can be made to open up again and restore power for normal operation.


What is blocking diode?

any diode if connected to where the anode is tie to a negative potential will block that voltage. Up to the limit of the breakdown potential of the diode whereby avalanche current will destroy the diode unless current limited


What is sign wave inverter?

From your question I assume that you mean an AC inverter, a device that converts DC electricity to AC electricity. Invertors come in many forms, however are commonly simply a DC rectifier opperated in inverse with a component such as a thyristor used rather than a diode. This thyristor allows the rectifier to be triggered, creating a square wave output at a frequency of say, 50Hz. As square wave can be made up of a near infinite number of sine waves (see fourier transform) an RLC filter can then be used, tuned to the fundemental to give an AC output.


What is firing angle in thyristors?

A sinusoidal AC waveform is divided up into 360 degrees, with the positive half and the negative half of the waveform combined into a kind of circle. The firing angle simply refers to the point on the waveform, as measured in degrees (thus 'angle') which the thyristor is triggered into conduction. Answer2: Firing angle is the phase angle of the voltage at which the scr turns on. There are two ways of turning an scr on..one is by applying a gate current or by applying a voltage across the scr until it becomes greater than the breakover voltage.... Answer3: Thyristor need gate current and voltage to make it conduct. The firing angle is the sinusoidal increasing voltage. As it rises a voltage is reached with enough power to fire to trigger the gate. That voltage is the angle considering that a sinusoidal is 360 degrees per cycle.


Which property of Electric current is used in electrolysis?

Probably the fact that a typical electric current is made up of moving electrons. Also, the fact that it carries energy.

Can an anode be dug up and moved?

Yes, an anode can be dug up and moved if necessary. Anodes are sacrificial components used to protect metal structures from corrosion, so if the anode is not effectively protecting the structure in its current location, it can be relocated to improve its effectiveness.


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.


How thyristor used in induction furnace?

Thyristor is used for Rectifiying and inverting the power supply in induction furnace. The parallel Resonance Coils (Current Control Furnaces) Control the Furance power up to 40% by controlling the firing angle of the rectifier inverter and remaining 60% controlled by inverter thyristor control. In rectifier they are varying the thyristor firing angle from 15 deg to 45 deg. (in sin wave)


How does the turn off circuit on a Class B type thyristor work?

The Class B type of commutation circuit uses an LC circuit in parallel with the thyristor. During initial power up, the capacitor C charges to the supply voltage (Edc) and the thyristor is OFF. The initial charging current of the LC branch flows thru the load. When the thyristor is fired, the supply DC voltage is applied across the load, and the voltage across the LC branch goes to almost zero (the forward drop of the thyristor). Then the LC circuit enters a resonant discharge with an angular frequency of the square root of the inverse of LC product. The LC resonant cycle supplies a peak forward current thru the thyristor of Edc times the square root of C/L. This peak current must exceed the load current in order to effect the turn-off of the thyristor during the second half of the discharge resonant cycle. This peak current is usually designed to be twice the load current. The thyristor is reversed biased (and turned OFF) during the first quarter cycle of this second half of the resonant cycle - thus allowing the supply to recharge the capacitor in the LC parallel branch. Then the cycle can repeat.

Tha water solution of ionic compound are able to conduct an electrical current?

The water solution of an ionic compound is able to conduct an electrical current because of ions migration towards the anode and cathode. Anions give up and electron at the anode and captions take an electrode at the cathode and current keeps moving.


What are two terminals in a battery?

In a car battery, the terminals are the heavy lead posts sticking up from the top of the battery, one labeled positive and one negative. Car batteries are of the lead-acid design, in which the anode (positive side) and cathode (negative side) are made of lead and lead dioxide, and as current leaves the battery through the anode both electrodes (anode and cathode) are chemically converted to lead sulphate. Cars use an alternator to send some of the current from the battery back to the anode, which partially converts the lead sulphate back into lead and lead dioxide, thus greatly lengthening the life of the battery.


Why anode is eaten up in electrorefining process?

In electrolytic refining,anode contains the impure aopper and when current passes through solution all the impure copper ions from anode dissolve in solution and thus when all ion discharge anode becomes empty and thus eaten up.


Why anode is not made up of Chromium in electroplating of Chromium?

In electroplating of chromium, the anode is typically made of a different material, such as lead or stainless steel, rather than chromium itself. This is because using chromium as the anode would result in the dissolution of the anode material into the electrolyte, which could lead to inconsistencies in the plating process and contamination of the deposited layer. Additionally, anodes are often designed to provide a stable and controlled environment for the electroplating reaction, which is better achieved with materials that do not dissolve under the plating conditions.


Why do electrodes get their names anode and cathode?

Electrodes are named anode and cathode based on their function in an electrochemical cell. The anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs, meaning it loses electrons, while the cathode is where reduction takes place, gaining electrons. These terms derive from the Greek words "anodos," meaning "way up," and "kathodos," meaning "way down," reflecting the flow of electric current in the device. In a galvanic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive, while in an electrolytic cell, the roles are reversed.


Why does a potato acquire a greenish deposit at the anode during electrolysis of potato?

You do not mention what you are using as the anode and cathode, but i would assume that given the green colour you are using copper or brass perhaps as the anode, and it is breaking down into a copper carbonate(which is green). By applying electrical current to the circuit you are speeding up the conversion of copper to copper carbonate(or similar).


Is copper an anode or cathode?

In a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell, the copper can serve as either an anode or cathode depending on the specific set-up and reaction conditions. An anode is where oxidation occurs, while a cathode is where reduction occurs.
