At the Electric Power System are the use of an electronic component which is generally used in a series of electric motors

settings. Electronic components used in electrical power systems in principle be capable of producing large power or be able to withstand large power dissipation
. Include power electronics switching, control and modifiers (conversion) large blocks of electric power by means of semiconductor devices. Thus the power electronics broadly divided into 2 (two) parts, namely: 1. Power circuit 2. the control circuit In the following figure shows the relationship between the two sets above are integrated into one, both of which are making use of semiconductor devices

The circuit consists of components of power diodes, thyristors and power transistors. While the control circuit consisting of diodes, transistors and integrated circuits (Integrated Circuit / IC). By using similar equipment reliability and compatibility of the equipment (system) will be repaired. Power electronics is an important part of industries, namely in controlling power on the system, processes and other electronics. I. DIODE Diodes is a union of P and N layers as images and symbols layer structure.

Terms diode in the ON state is positive while for the VAK VAK OFF is negative.

These characteristics describe the relationship between current diode (IR and IF) to VAK in current conditions hold (OFF) or in a state of flow (ON). In the OFF state, VAK = Vr = negative, then the diode current holding but there is a small leakage current Ir. In the ON state, VAK = Vt = positive, but there is a current of the diode voltage drop across the diode Vf = , and if Vf is the greater for the higher diode current, means the loss of conduction If * Vt rises. Seen also on the characteristics of the diode above that when Vr is too high diode will be damaged. switching characteristics These characteristics describe the nature of the work shift diodes in the ON state to OFF and vice versa.

Diode currents will soon pass if Vr has reached more than the minimum diode Vf conducive and OFF at a delay of the diode has the ability to re-reverse blocking voltage. From the picture above tgerlihat a momentary reverse flow in the diode, where the reverse flow occurs at the transition state diodes from ON state to the reverse voltage blocking conditions.

Given the nature of reverse flow, the obtained two types of diodes classifications are: 1. Fast diodes, ie diodes with Traffic immediately capable of blocking rapid reverse voltage, the order of 200 ns starting from the diode forward current equal to 0 (zero). 2. Slow diodes, ie for the same diode requires a longer time, Q32> Qs1. Terminology diode characteristics Trr Reverse Recovery Time, the time it takes to be blocking diode forward voltage. Tjr: The time required by PN junctions to be blocking. TBR: The time required to form a border zone blocking Junction. Qs: Total charge flowing in the reverse direction during the movement of the diode ON to OFF status. Slow diode types are widely used in the circuit converter with commutation slow / natural, like a rectifier circuit. While Fast Diodes type used on static converters with commutation itself such as in DC Chopper, etc. converter commutation itself. voltage capability Diode is reverse blocking voltage, was able to withstand voltage depends on the characteristics of the voltage itself.

VRWM = peak voltage of the normal work. VRRM = Peak overvoltages that occur periodically. VRSM = peak overvoltage is not periodic. Flow ability Diodes The existence of Vt conduction voltage drop causes power losses in the diode that came out in the form of heat. The maximum junction temperature lies between 110 C - 125 C. Heat in excess of this temperature will cause diode damage. This maximum temperature can be achieved by a variety of current loading of photodiodes

If (AV): The current maximum average allowed per average current price would yield a price of final temperature on the junction diode. Limit If (AV) is also dependent on room temperature and the type of cooling system (heat-sink). If (RMS): Prices effective maximum diode current. Average price that below If (V) maximum, not to ensure the safety of operations especially diode load current diode with a high form factor. (Rate Mean Square) If (RM): The price peak flow over periodic allowed. If (BC): The price peak non-periodic currents over the allowable Q: Boundary integral diode current loading which is still able to experience it. This scale applies to cycles or 1 ms and a guide in the selection of surge protector. Example Data Type MF 70 Fast Diodes Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, Vdrm = 1200 volts. Mean forward current, If (AV) = 70 A RMS forward current, IRMS max = 110 A Non repetitive forward current, If (ms) = 700 A Forward V-Drop, VFM = V, the IFM = 210 A Peak reverse current, IRM = 5 mA Reverse recovery time, trr = 200 ns Stored, charger, Qrr = T c (Qs) Thermal resistance, RTH-x = 0.37 C / w
