Study on Voltage Balancing of Thyristor Devices in Series by Using Metal Oxide Voltage Limiters
Series thyristor devices are currently adopting parallel RC snubber circuits as a voltage balancing protective measure
however
in some areas of application
RC snubber circuit exists inapplicability. This paper proposes a new voltage balancing method for thyristor devices in series
and metal oxide voltage limiter with good nonlinear characteristics is installed in parallel with each series thyristor devices to restrict the thyristor’s turn-on and turn-off overshoot voltage. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated initially through theoretical analysis
