Hello,
I'm trying to understand the difference between current rating on a thyristor datasheet.
Continuous on-state current = 2950 A AND
Average on-state current (half sine wave) = 1500 A
Seems like a large difference in current rating. Is this because the half sign wave will have a large peak current??
