Abstract :
The application of GTO-thyristors requires special short-circuit protection equipment. A simple method based on the proportionality of turn-off current and storage time of a GTO is shown to protect GTO-thyristors against turn-off failure during a short circuit. Additionally, this method can be employed for overload protection, failure diagnosis and current monitoring.
