thyristor is four layer three junction device,hence there is effect of the junction capacitance on the operation.thyristor also requires special techniques to make it on and off.along with this the delays produced due to junction capacitance has to be considered.

Power thyristor how to check?

A thyristor is a rectifier semiconductor between two electrodes that permit unidirectional flow in anodes and cathodes.The flow of the current can be switched by a gate electrode that controls main driven electrical devices.To check a thyristor the current flow (between emitter/collector terminals) is checked.Then a small base current is applied to see if the thyristor functions as a switch.

What does forced commutation mean?

The term "Forced commutation" is used when a thyristor is turned off using external components. If a thyristor is used in a DC circuit, when first turned on, it will stay on until the current goes to zero. To turn off the thyristor it is possible to use a Forced commutation circuit. The circuit creates a reverse voltage over the thyristor (and a small reverse current) for a short time, but long enough to turn off the thyristor. A simple circuit consist of a precharged capacitor and a switch (e.g. another thyristor) parallel to the thyristor. When the switch is closed, the current is supplied by the capacitor for a short while. This cause a reversed voltage over the thyristor, and the thyristor is turned off.


Can we replace a thyristor by a mosfet?

No because a mosfet does not work the same as a thyristor. In a thyristor the current flows even when the gate pulse is removed, until the current stops. That is not the case for a FET.


What are the two conditions necessary for a thyristor to begin to conduct?

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)
