Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002966
Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor: A high-power semiconductor device used for switching large currents and voltages in industrial applications. It combines a gate turn-off thyristor with a low-inductance gate unit, allowing for fast and reliable turn-off characteristics. IGCTs are commonly found in high-power converters, motor drives, and traction systems.
