3. Working Principle

Standby Initialization: After power-on, the built-in drive circuit completes self-inspection and initialization, locks the initial turn-off state, and waits for external drive commands to avoid mis-conduction.
Gate Trigger Turn-on: When receiving the turn-on drive signal, the IGCT gate is triggered to activate the internal conduction channel, the module enters the conduction state, and the main circuit current flows normally.
High-frequency Power Conversion: According to the PWM timing logic of the upper controller, periodic fast switching is performed to convert power frequency electric energy into adjustable frequency and voltage electric energy, realizing frequency regulation and reactive power compensation functions.
Low-loss Steady-state Conduction: The low-loss chip design reduces on-state voltage drop and heat loss during conduction, ensuring long-term high-efficiency and stable operation of high-power equipment.
Real-time Fault Monitoring & Blocking: It continuously monitors junction temperature, main circuit current and short-circuit status. Once over-load, short-circuit or over-temperature faults are detected, the module turns off and blocks immediately to prevent device burnout and fault expansion.
Cyclic Stable Operation: After fault elimination and system reset, the module resumes normal switching logic to continuously execute power conversion tasks, adapting to full working conditions such as continuous operation, dynamic load adjustment and frequent start-stop.
