Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten extremely the time until a protection circuit is operated by detecting the abnormality of a turn-off power circuit from the increase rate of the rise of negative gate current and then by putting aprotecting power circuit to work. CONSTITUTION:Between the gate and cathode, gate driver unit 22 and protecting power circuit 23 are connected in parallel and to main unit 22, gate turn-off power circuit 26 of electronic switch 24 and direct-current power supply 25 connected in series and gate turn-off power circuit 29 of series-connected direct-current power supply 27 and electronic switch 28 in parallel to circuit 26 are both connected. Once the output of power supply 27 lowers, the increase rate of a negative gate current falls to decrease a voltage across inductance 34 down to less than a reference value, no output is generated by comparator 35 and AND gate 37 becomes open at a lagging point in time, so that the output of inverter 39 will be ''0''. At the same time, both the terminals of capacitor 23 charged higher than the prescribed voltage of power supply 27 are connected between the gate and cathode of GTO3. As a result, GTO3 turns OFF without breaking down by heating.
