Rectifier and avalanche diodes

Rectifier and avalanche diodes

    Key components of demanding applications

    Hitachi Energy’s semiconductors are key components in a variety of demanding applications in markets like power transmission & distribution, industry, mobility and renewable energy. Customers rely on Hitachi Energy’s high quality power semiconductor products and use them in applications in power ranges from 50 kW to 10 GW.

    Applications

    • Power transmission and distribution (HVDC, FACTS, STATCOM and others)
    • Industry (medium and low-voltage drives, soft starters, UPSs, high-power rectifiers, excitation systems and others)
    • Renewable energy (converters for pumped hydro, wind turbines and solar)
    • Mobility (rail and subway main and auxiliary drives, trackside power supply / electrical vehicles)

    Diodes for various applications

    Diodes are used in a number of different applications. Each of these applications sets different requirements on the diodes’ characteristics. Inverter applications ask for fast recovery diodes with soft-switching characteristics, high-current rectifiers demand diodes with low on-state losses, medium-power rectifiers benefit from diodes with avalanche capability and welding rectifiers require highest current in the smallest package.

    Hitachi Energy offers four press-pack diode families that meet these requirements:

    • Fast recovery diodes
    • Standard rectifier diodes
    • Avalanche diodes
    • Welding diodes
