THYRISTORS: SCR,GTO.TRIAC..etc...
POWER SWITCH: IGBT,MOSFET...
thyristorts is like diode mainly unipolar device, only
conducts in one direction.
By the way TRIAC(AC switch- made by cross parallel
connection of SCR) can conduct in both direction but it
reactive loads can cause it to fail to turn off during the
zero-voltage instants of the ac power cycle...so require
snubber circuit to turn off that TRIAC in each half cycle...
so it has to take more time to turn off or on...in
comparison of IGBT and MOSFET...
At high freq switching devices thyristors can not use
becouse at high freq , time is inversely proportinal to the
freq, so thier is less time require to operate. AT that
time we require IGBT- fast switching response

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
what is circulating current in parallel transformer???plus how it is generated ???plz explain in detail.........
