The thyristor power controller adopts thyristor (SCR or TRIAC) as the switching component, namely, a non-contact switch that can quickly and accurately control the closing time. It serves as an essential terminal equipment for power control designed for high precision and high dynamic indicators. It is worth noting that different loads and constraints of the operation environment determine different control modes and require various supporting equipment. Among control modes there are phase angle control, distributed crossover and time proportional zero crossover. In actual use, SCR power controllers can be sorted into single-phase SCR power controllers and three-phase SCR power controllers in accordance with their load types, power supply types and power supply voltage levels. So, how should we choose the right type of power controller and bring its optimum performance into play with minimal damage? The following passages will give you the answer.

Inverter is a kind of transformer converting the low-voltage DC power (usually such as the power output by the battery) into the high-voltage AC high-frequency power (sine wave AC power of 220V 50Hz or 110V 60Hz). Take a 12V DC to 220V AC car power inverter as example to illustrate the working principle briefly. Firstly, the 12V low-voltage DC power in the vehicle is converted into the high-voltage DC power of around 265V, and then the 265V DC power is converted into the sine wave AC power of 220V, 50Hz. The main inner components of power inverter include the Inverter Bridge, filter circuit, oscillator, control logic circuit and so on. At present, a large amount of various power inverters are filled in various e-commerce platforms.

1P, 2P, 1P+N, 3P, 4P, 4P+N, P means that the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is equipped with a protective pole (knife pole), N means that the neutral conductor is only equipped with knife pole, but no protection modules. Both 2P and 1P+N are called two pole switch, 4P and 3P+N are called 4 pole switch. Neutral conductor of 1P+N and 3P+N don't have protection, so they are much cheaper, the neutral conductor pole acts along with the phase line pole. Some circuit breakers divide 1P+N into two types: one adopts two module width, another adopts one module width (small size). For these poles, how to select a right miniature circuit breaker?
