A gate ridge is provided to circuit 17 and to a negative bias circuit 21 for negatively biasing the control electrode during turn-off of the GTO 16. The on-gate circuit 1'7 is adjusted and smoothed by a diode 3.4 and a smoothing capacitor 7-, and supplies an on-gate current via a resistor 13 by turning on and off the NPN transistor 12. The N P N transistor 12 is controlled to be turned on or off by a base signal given by the photocoupler 11 . The negative bias circuit 21 includes diodes 5 and 6
Rectified and smoothed by smoothing capacitor 8 ↓1 (antibody 15
The control of 0TO16 via nf, biases the pole negatively. GTO 16 is controlled by a gate signal shown in FIG. When an ON command is input, a base signal is applied to the NPN transistor 12 via the photonograph 11, and an on-gate current is supplied.

ほぼ同じVPCなる電圧が印加さねる。The impedance between the gate electrodes of UTO16 remains the same even after off-gate current supply starts.
During the accumulation time when it is still conducting, the impedance is zero; however, when G'r016 is turned off, a voltage of 20 to 30 V is generated between the gate marker and the cathode electrode.
A certain amount of induced reverse spike voltage is generated. FIG. 3 shows an equivalent circuit at this time. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. The pulse transformer 19 for supplying off-gate current generates an output voltage ■P with the polarity shown. VGK is applied between the GTO160 control electrode and the cathode due to the partial pressure with the wiring inductance of 20.
An induced reverse spike voltage is generated. At this time, since the transistor 12 is off, a voltage of vTr is applied. At the same time, a voltage VPC, which is approximately the same as vTr, is not applied to the photocoupler 11.

点弧させるという欠点があった。However, most commercially available photocouplers have collector-emitter voltage ratings of 30 to 50 V or less. If a voltage exceeding the maximum rating is applied to the photocoupler, the photocoupler 11 may break down, causing damage to the photocoupler, or the transistor 12 may turn on, causing the GTO 16 to fire incorrectly.

2 is PNP? It is a transistor and is driven by a photocoupler 11 via a resistor 9. FIG. 5 is an equivalent circuit corresponding to FIG. 3. GII'0160 The induced reverse spike generated between the control electrode and the cathode is superimposed only between the emitter E and the collector C of the transistor 12, and as shown in Fig. Since no voltage is applied between the emitter and collector of the photocoupler, the voltage rating of the photocoupler can be selected with respect to the source voltage Fi□N of about a dozen or so (on game) 11, and the voltage rating is significantly reduced.
