This paper describes a design and implementation of the practical SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) with multi-output independent regulation scheme. The designed SMPS is applied to the PSU(Power Supply Unit) of high power GTO drivers for a inverter system. In order to accomplish precise voltage regulations for both turn-on and turn-off bias voltages of the GTO driver, the conventional forward type PWM converter scheme is adopted with the Post Regulator using a Saturable Reactor. Analytic design criteria and control schemes are described for practical applications. Finally, the precise regulation of multi-output voltages is proved by experimental results.

The use of Solid-State switches as interruption devices offers signigicant advantages in circuit breaker applications. In this paper, we introduce a GTO DC circuit breaker using GTOs and ZnO varistors. And also, the result of the research work described in this paper allows to establish the rules for paralleling of GTO's.

The load commutated current source inverter(LCCSI) with GTO-DC source forced commutation is described in this Paper. GTO-DC source forced commutation assures the stability of commutation below critical frequency determined by output capcaitor and it also gives the oppotunity of PWM operation for reducing resonant harmonic components. he simulation results clearly show hat the proposed commutation circuit works well in the resonance phenomenon between output capacitor and machine leakage inductance.

A gate-turn-off thyristor (GTO) that has a fuction of self-commutation is a device that can be turned on like a thyristor with a single pulse of gate current and turned-off by injecting a negative gate current pulse. GTOs have been in existence almost from the beginning of thyristor era, recently are these devices being developed with large power-handling capabilities and improved performance, and they are gaining popularity In conversion equipment. In this paper, the effects of internal parameters of GTO model using a circuit containing two transistors and three resistors the switching operation and the turn-off snubber characteristics is investigated using SPICE program.

A numerical model of a three junction device is presented. It allows the simulation of the external characteristics of the PNPN family devices and in this work the simulation of gate turn-off thyristor(GTO) is particularly considered. The proposed PNPN device simulation model solves all the drawbacks presented by the previous work, simulates the GTO well, and fulfills.

In order to develop the three phase GTO CSI with double recovery path of commutation energy by passive devices (LCD), we studied the clamping circuit to protect switching device and energy recovery circuit to recover absorbed energy of capacitor and DC link inductor. In this paper, we investigated how DC input power is increased or decreased according to energy recovery path with or not in the three phase GTO current source inverter. We used a induction motor as the load of inverter, and controlled a induction motor with V/F constant control. Experimental results show that dissipated DC power is decreased and capacitor voltage Vc is effectively suppressed by double recovery path.

This paper presents the linearized optimal PWM techniques for current source GTO converter. This proposed method is to linearize an optimal PWM modulation strategy so that the turn-on/off-periods of the GTO switches can be computed on-line in real-time for any modulation index. This allows the rapid and continuous regulation of the DC output current while producing the sinusoidal AC input current waveform and unit power factor.

This paper describes the main features of an unconventional tester for high power semiconductor devices. Two application ranges are highlighted. The tester is used for the extraction of GTO parameters and their verification by measurements. The second field comprises the determination of the radial and azimuthal current density distribution of a GTO tablet. The results are compared with the carrier lifetime distribution.

PWM converters employing GTO's are proposed to be used for the currently planned Korean High-Speed Train system. In this paper, operating methods and harmonic spectrums are investigated for the PWM modulated voltage controlled GTO AC/DC converter used in the High-Speed Train System. It is shown that harmonic components can be controlled by varying carrier frequency in PWM modulation schemes. Then the input power-factor control scheme is suggested and analyzed. It is found that the power-factor can be varied by controlling the converter input voltage and phase angles between the input supply voltage and the converter input voltage. Finally, simulation programs are developed and converter systems are implemented.
