12、development of mercury arc rectifier. Invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt in 1902, the mercury arc rectifier was used to convert AC into DC. In 1933 selenium （硒）rectifiers were invented.

20、 to several hundred watts. In industry a common applica-tion is the variable speed drive (VSD) that is used to control an induction motor. The power range of VSDs starts from a few hundred watts and end at tens of megawatts. Power electronic devices may be used as switches, or as amplifiers.,2.1 Int

21、roduction text,An ideal switch is either open or closed and so dissipates no power; it withstands an applied voltage and passes no current, or passes any amount of current with no voltage drop. Semiconductor devices used as switches can appro-ximate this ideal property and so most power electronic a

26、in the circuit. In most of circuits, the leakage current does not have a significant effect on the circuit and thus the diode can be considered as a switch.

30、nown as 被称为是,所谓； up to 高达 ，作后置定语，修饰high power units.,If positive voltage is applied without gate current, the thyristor constitutes the state of forward blocking. A low-power pulse of gate current switches the thyristor to the on-state. The output characteristic of a conducting thyristor in the forw

31、ard bias is very similar to the same curve of the diode with a small leakage current. Thus, the thyristor assumes very low resistance in the forward direction.,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Note：switches .to .切换到，转到，转变成； is very similar to 与.很相似， 很接近.,Once turned on, the thyristor remains in

32、this state after the end of the gate pulse while its current is higher than the holding level. If the current drops below the holding value, the device switches back to the non-conducting region. Switching off by gate pulse is impossible. Therefore, using the same arguments as for( 至于,关于)diodes, the

33、 thyristor can be represented by the idealized switch.,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Note：Once turned on 一旦导通； holding level 保持级； switches back to转回到。,When a thyristor is supplied by AC, the moment of a thyristor opening should be adjusted by shifting the control pulse relative to the startin

35、的起始点移动控制脉冲来调节.,With negative voltage between anode and cathode, this corresponds to the reverse blocking state. If the maximum reverse voltage exceeds the permissible value, the leakage current rises rapidly, as with diodes, leading to breakdown and thermal destruction of the thyristor. Besides the

36、rectifier thyristors, the gate turn-off thyrist-ors (GTOs) are produced as shown in Fig.2.5(c).,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Note：as with 如同，和-一样； thermal destruction 热破坏。,These devices have two adjustable operations: they can be turned on or off by the current gate pulses. The GTO thyristor

37、 turns on similarly to the SCR thyri-stors, i.e. after the current pulse will be applied to the gate electrode. To turn it off, a powerful negative curr-ent control pulse must be applied to the gate electrode. A switching frequency range of a GTO thyristor is a few hundred hertz to tens kilohertz.,N

38、ote：similarly to the SCR thyristors 和SCR相似。,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Their on-state voltage (23V) is higher than that of SCR. Because of their capability of handling large voltages (up to 5kV) and large currents (up to a few kiloamperes at 10MVA), the GTO thyristors are more convenient t

40、ct transistor (MOSFET) is a voltage-controll-ed metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor. The advantages of the MOSFETs are as follows: high switching capability that is the operational frequencies reach gigahertz; simple protection circuits and voltage control; normally off device when the

41、 enhancement mode is used; and easy paralleling to increase the current values.,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,The drawbacks of the MOSFETs are as follows: relatively low power handling capabilities, less than 10kVA, 1000V, and 200A; and relatively high (more than 2V) forward voltage drop.

Both BJTs and MOS-FETs have the technical parame-ters and characteristics that complement each other.,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Note：are as follows如下,Note：BJT和MOSFET的技术参数及特性成为互补。,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices

43、 TEXT,BJTs have lower conduction losses in the on-state, espe-cially at larger blocking voltages, but they have longer switching times.

IGBTs have the highest power c

45、apabilities up to 1700-kVA, 2000V, 800A. Because of the less resistance than the MOSFET, the heating losses of the IGBT are lower too.,Note：device of choice 选择的装置。,2.2 Power Semiconductor Devices TEXT,Their forward voltage drop is 23V, that is higher than that of a bipolar transistor but lower than

46、the MOSFET has. Due to the negative temperature coefficient, when a temperature is raised, the power and heating decrease therefore the device withstands the overloading and operates in parallel well.,Note：temperature coefficient温度系数；此句译为：由于IGBT属于负温度系数半导体材料，当温度上升时，功耗和热量会随之降低，所以能过载运行，且适合并联。,2.2 Power

47、 Semiconductor Devices TEXT,The reliability of the IGBTs is higher than that of the field-effect transistors (FETs) thanks to the absence of a secondary breakdown.
