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.
