Abstract :
When turning on a thyristor, the di/dt capability depends on the
thermal excursion (called 'hammering') and the anticipated number that can
be withstood before fatigue sets in and ultimate failure occurs.A suitable
way for specifying di/dt would be the publication of a family of curves,
'Number of applications (life) vs di/dt' with the peak current as the
running parameter.Neither the 5 second (non-repetitive rating) nor the
1000 hours (repetitive rating) verification tests are suitable for
satisfying the design requirements of an engineer who has a different
current peak than the standard.Ratings can be verified only by an
accelerated life test using a current waveform of a multiple 'f' times the
anticipated turn-on stress.As a simplification and a safety factor, 'f'
times stress can be represented by 'f' times current.Thermal runaway is
avoided by using low frequency and case temperature; justified since life
expectancy is a function of thermal excursion rather than temperature.Life
is then calculated by an acceleration which in turn is a function of the
factor 'f'.Recommendations for di/dt testing and publishing of ratings are
discussed in this paper. (Edited author abstract)
