High power gate turn-off thyristors /GTO's/ and GTO-VVVF inverter
Abstract
Three types of high power GTO's with voltage ratings of 600 to 1300 V, and maximum gate turn-off currents of 200 to 600 A were developed. Design considerations for realizing these devices will be described. In addition, various results will be demonstrated relating to the development of a VVVF inverter using these devices.
