Abstract :
Computer-aided analysis and synthesis of power electronics circuits provides a powerful and economic insight into MV smart motor controllers. Although the PSPICE software contains a library of specific semiconductor devices including SCRs, the programmability of a thyristor model is required. A thyristor model featuring programmable on-resistance and reverse recovery time was proposed by Losic (1988) and is used in this work. In this case gate triggering and controllable reverse recovery time are of great importance
