Abstract

This paper gives the novel design of compensated ring anode-short for power GTO thyristor. By means of this design the power GTO of $\Phi$63.5mm 2500A/4500V reaches more uniform turn-off compared with conventional ring short GTO, resulting in higher turn-off ability and low tail current/tail time.
