ABSTRACT:
A power supply has a stack formed by a first bus plate, a gate take off (GTO) thyristor, a second bus plate, a bypass diode and a third bus plate all mounted to a heat sink by a single clamp, with the anode of the thyristor closest to the heat sink. Preferably, the bus plates are sized and of a material to provide local thermal storage. The heat sink then can be sized to handle only the average heat dissipation requirements, rather than the peak requirements, and the total power supply can be very compact.
