The IXYS VWO36-16IO7 is a three-phase (3PH) module containing silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) or thyristors. These are essentially heavy-duty, electronically controlled switches that enable current to flow in one direction only.
Special Features and Benefits of Using the IXYS VWO36-16IO7, Three-Phase
- Three thyristors in a single module for efficient control of three-phase AC power.
- 18 Ampere (A) current handling capacity per thyristor, suitable for moderate power applications.
- 1600 Volt (V) reverse voltage blocking capability for handling high voltage AC lines.
- Packaged in an FO-T-A chassis, likely indicating a flange-mounted design for heat dissipation.
- Simplifies control of three-phase AC power compared to using individual thyristors.
- Provides robust switching with high current and voltage ratings.
- The FO-T-A chassis design aids in managing heat generated during operation.
Application Versatility of the IXYS VWO36-16IO7, Three-Phase
- Utilised in AC power control circuits for applications like motor drives and lighting controls where three-phase power is involved.
- Also found in phase converters that change single-phase AC to three-phase AC.
