Definition of "Holding Current" |
The minimum required current to keep the thyristor operating or conducting with the Anode to Cathode forward biased and after the Gate signal has been removed. The test circuit to the right applies a momentary gate signal, than reduces the thyristor current via a Potentiometer until the device shuts off. The holding current is that current measured just prior to shut-off; when the device switches from the on-state to the off-state. |
