Thyristor Basics A Beginner S Guide To Thyristors
Introduction Nowadays, many electromechanical or electrical equipments from household appliances, such as uninterrupted power supplies to industrial power and motor control equipments , consist of power electronic circuits, in which Thyristors play an important role as solid-state switching devices. The conventional methods of power control involve use of variable tap-changing transformers, shunt and series regulators to produce the variable voltage in steps. But these are cost effective and inefficient. Later, magnetic amplifiers are invented to produce the static control of power with a greater reliability....
