he World's Largest-Capacity 8kV/3.6kA Light-Triggered Thyristor by Katsumi sato* Mitsubishi Electric has developed an 8kV/3.6kA light-triggered thyristor (LTT) based on a six inch wafer for power-converter applications in igh-voltage DC transmission and back-to-back systems. New design features give the device
