Description

This new IRK series of MAGN-A-paks modules uses high voltage power thyristor/thyristor and thyristor/diode in seven basic configurations. The semiconductors are electrically isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies to be built. They can be interconnected to form single-phase or three-phase bridges or as AC-switches when modules are connected in antiparallel mode.

These modules are intended for general-purpose applications such as battery chargers, welders, and plating equipment, and where high voltage and high current are required (motor drives, U.P.S., etc.).
