Thyristor + Diode

Description

The thyristor with diode model is similar to the thyristor model with an anti-parallel diode. The anti-parallel diode allows the current to flow when the thyristors are turned off, thus providing a path.

The model considers various factors like forward voltage drop 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.
