Abstract
Optical switch-on of a very high voltage (18-kV class) 4H-SiC thyristor with an amplification step (pilot thyristor) to the current Imax = 1225A has been demonstrated using a purely inductive load. The results obtained show that a further switch-on current increase can only be achieved by introducing additional amplification steps in the pilot thyristor structure.
