Real-World Examples of Thyristor Stock Delays and Recovery Tactics

Stock outages of High surge current low on‑state voltage industrial phase control dual thyristor modules can impact operations across sectors like diming control, EV charger production, and data center UPS manufacturing. This article shares real-world cases and how procurement teams responded.

Case Study 1: Desalination Plant in UAE

A UAE-based desalination facility faced:

  • 5-week delay on 250A dual thyristor modules
  • Production halt affecting 3% of regional water supply
  • Cause: backlog in welding and radar-grade module output from Asia

Solution: Partnered with local ABB distributor who offered refurbished stock to bridge gap.

Case Study 2: Laser Equipment OEM in Germany

A mid-sized laser OEM missed a shipment due to:

  • Shortage of 1600V high-surge thyristor modules
  • Supplier failed to anticipate demand surge linked to food automation investments

Recovery: Shifted to Powerex alternate product and retrofitted system for temporary integration.

Case Study 3: EV Charger Manufacturer in California

California-based EV firm experienced:

  • Week-long delay in UPS manufacturing for public charging stations
  • Problem traced to a missing RoHS-certification document for high-voltage diming modules

Action: Internal buffer stock covered 80% of the gap while customs paperwork was expedited.
