marke Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Some years ago, I saw a lot of information on MCTs and speculation that they would make a large impact on VSD and inverter design, particularly due to their low on state voltage and the ability to give a high efficiency. I have not seen any commercial rendition of this technology in VSDs or inverters. Anyone seen anything using MCTs??

Guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Whats an MCT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 MCT is a Mos Controlled Thyristor.It is a little like a thyristor with a MOS FET input gate. It has the advantage of low ON state voltage.

Guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 thanks for that info I thought it was summing to do with the new Matrix Convertors that are coming out See Here http://www.yaskawa.co.uk/press/press/press_yas061.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
