1. Thyristor control circuits

For notations, please refer to section 1 of the article [D3231] .

1.1 Context

With the exception of applications where thyristors are used for non-periodic tripping (flash control, short-circuit protection), synchronization of the tripping circuits is required for rectifier or dimmer applications with delay control, or for solid-state contactors.

For small and medium power...
