Reverse avalanche capability
In operation with an antiparallel freewheeling diode,the GTO reverse voltage V
R
may exceed the rate
value V
RRM
due to stray inductance and diode turn-on voltage spike at high di/dt,The GTO is then
driven into reverse avalanche,This condition is not dangerous for the GTO provided avalanche time
and current are below 10 μs and 1000 A respectively,However,gate voltage must remain negative
during this time,Recommendation,V
GR
= 10… 15 V.
