Best Answer

There are more than two conditions that can make a thyristor conduct, but the general (functional) ones are:

1) positive voltage form anode to cathode, and

2) a positive voltage on the trigger input (referenced to the cathode) for a standard polarity thyristor.

Other conditions can be:

A) Anode-Cathode Voltage exceeding thyristor witholding voltage.

B) Overtemperature of the thyristor chip

C) Faulty thyristor (can be caused by overloads)
