Parallel Operation of Thyristors The need to connect thyristors in parallel arises when the current or over current to be handled by the apparatus or equipment exceeds the rating of a single thyristor. Thyristors can be connected…

Equalising Network Voltage equalisation under these conditions can, however, be achieved by connecting shunt-capacitors as shown in Figure 28. This capacitor removes inequalities in thyristor self-capacitances. Therefore, during turn-off…

Series Operations of Thyristors If the required voltage rating of the assembly or equipment incorporating thyristors is more than the voltage rating of a single thyristor, then several thyristors have to be united in a series connection.…

An elementary circuit diagram for obtaining static V-I characteristics of a thyristor is shown in Figure 17. Here, the anode and cathode are connected to the main source through a load. The gate and cathode are fed from another source Eg.…
