High-Powered Crowbar Design Using Rupture-Enhanced, Capsule-Style Thyristors

In this session, Dr. Martin Schulz details the importance of crowbar design when dealing with medium-voltage applications. Crowbars are known to be an additional instance of protection in power electronic designs. They act as a controlled path to handle emergency situations like over voltages or short circuit events. Once triggered, a crowbar protects delicate equipment, while at the same time buys other protective devices like fuses valuable time to act. This training is in regards to designing crowbars to protect larger installations like subways, metro stations, or other larger solar installations.
