Description

The thyristor is modeled as a non linear with a series RC snubber connected in parallel to the thyristor. The model considers various factors like forward bias threshold, forward and reverse break over voltage, blocking current, snubber elements, holding current, on/off resistance. Depending on the user's requirement, there is also an option to select the precision functionality, which allows the user to compensate for errors due to digital implementation of the model during the state switching as a function of time step. The turnoff time Tq is the recovery time between the instant the anode current has decreased to 0 and the when the thyristor is capable of withstanding positive voltage without turning on again.

The model also has an option to be controlled from external signals and an option to enter the precision delay D.

NameDescription
D

Delay used for precision valves, measured from the changing point to the current time step.
It is expressed as a fraction of the time step, i.e.: 0 as no delay and 1 as delay of one time step.

D is a value between 0 to 1, so it interpolate the timing of switching in the middle of time step.
e.g, D=0.5 means switch changes status at 50% of time step.
