How many number of thyristors are used in the single phase full wave bridge?
A full wave bridge uses 4 diodes to operate. A half wave bridge used 2 diodes to operate. Thyristors used in a full wave bridge are triggered diodes. To make these types of bridges operate a trigger board is required to be connected to the gate input of the thyristor. Thyristors are also known as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR).
What is the purpose of the gate latch bolt and how does it function in securing a gate?
The purpose of the gate latch bolt is to secure a gate by preventing it from swinging open. It functions by sliding into a corresponding hole or catch on the gate post, effectively locking the gate in place.
What is the purpose of the gate spring in a fence system?
The purpose of the gate spring in a fence system is to automatically close the gate after it has been opened, ensuring that the gate remains securely shut and providing added security to the enclosed area.

Why thyristors are preferrred over transistors?
Thyristors are preferred in applications that require the characteristics on a thyristor. Thyristors are quite different to transistors, when they turn on, they stay turned on untill the power source is removed. Transistors conduct as controlled by the emitter current.
Why a UJT is not a thyristor?
Because to remain in conduction it requires a supply of emitter current. Without a minimum value of emitter current it can't stay in the on position. Most thyristors do not require gate current after they are turned on to remain in conduction
What is the difference between controlled and uncontrolled rectifier?
A simple rectifier is a diode. It only has two terminals and will only allow electron flow in one direction only. A controlled rectifier (SCR=silicon controlled rectifier) has a third connection (gate). Which as the name suggests, is a gate that controls at which point the rectifier will work. It therefore has a level of control.There are various types and you would need the application specification, to get the best use of them.
Why gate terminal is connected near to the cathode terminal?
The gate terminal is connected near the cathode terminal in devices like thyristors to enable precise control of the device's conduction state. When a small current is applied to the gate, it triggers the device to conduct, effectively allowing for efficient switching and control of higher power loads. This configuration minimizes delay and enhances the overall responsiveness of the device in power applications. Additionally, it helps in protecting the gate from high voltages present at the anode.

What does the gate on a thyristor do?
The gate on a thyristor is a control terminal that triggers the device into conduction. When a small current is applied to the gate, it allows the thyristor to switch from the off state (blocking mode) to the on state (conducting mode), enabling it to conduct a much larger current between its anode and cathode. Once triggered, the thyristor remains on even after the gate current is removed, until the current through it falls below a certain threshold. This property makes thyristors useful in various applications, such as in power control and switching circuits.
