Reverse avalanche capability

In operation with an antiparallel freewheeling diode, the GTO reverse voltag e VR may exceed the rate

value VRRM due to stray inductance and diode turn-on voltage spike at high di/dt. The GTO is then

driven into reverse avalanche. This condition is not dangerous for the GTO provided avalanche time

and current are below 10 µs and 1000 A respectively. However, gate voltage must remain negative

during this time. Recommendation : VGR = 10… 15 V.
