The initial peak turn-off current and turn-off time, which are important parameters of the turning-off process, depend on the external circuit components. The device data sheet
The turn-off time provided to the thyristor by the power circuit is called circuit turn-off time t c. It is defined as the time between the instant time the thyristor current becomes zero and the instant
In order to turn the thyristor off, the load current must be reduced below its holding current IH for sufficient time to allow all the mobile charge carriers to vacate the junction. This is achieved by
How does a thyristor turn off? The usual turn-off of a thyristor happens by zero crossing of the anode current, which is given for applications operating in an AC circuit. In case of forward
The word "thyristor" comes from the word "gas thyratron", which was an old-fashioned gas-based device having roughly the same electrical characteristics as the semiconductor-based thyristor.
Both turn-on and turn-off protection may be necessary for reliability. Sometimes the thyristor must function with a range of load values. The type of thyristors used, circuit configuration, and load
