Description

A microprocessor based system has been developed to protect the power diode assemblies (PDAs) used on TFTR. Excessive thermal stresses on the PDAs will greatly reduce the number of pulses that the diodes can be expected to survive. To provide for the longest possible operation of the PDAs, a method of calculating the junction temperature had to be developed. It is described in this paper
