		<description><![CDATA[From the above characteristics,latching current for large power GTO is several amperes here 2A as compared to 100-500mA for conventional thyristors of same rating.If gate current is not able to turn on the GTO,it behaves like a high voltage,low gain transistor with considerable anode current.This leads to a noticable power loss under such conditions.

		<description><![CDATA[Advantages of GTO over Thyristor Commutation circuit is not needed Fast switching speed More di/dt at turn on Higher efficiency because losses in commutation circuit is eliminated Circuits using GTO  are compact Lesser acoustical and electromagnetic noise due to elimination of choke of commutation Disadvantages of GTO Higher latching and holding current Higher on state [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The voltage and current wave forms of a GTO is show in figure below.The positive and negative pulses are shown. When a positive signal is applied,GTO starts conducting.Before initiation of conduction anode current(iA)is zero and anode- cathode voltage VAK is the peak reverse voltage.When conduction starts rises iA to full value and the VAK becomes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GTO is a special thyristor which can be turned on by a positive gate signal and can be turned off by a neagative signal.Evidently the use of GTO in power electronic circuit eliminates the need of forced commutation circuit because turnoff is achieved by applying a negative circuit. The two transistor analogy of a GTO [...]]]></description>
