A sawtooth waveform is used in thyristor triggering circuits because it provides a linear and predictable voltage ramp, allowing for precise control over the timing of the thyristor's conduction. The waveform's rising edge can be synchronized with the zero-crossing of alternating current (AC), enabling accurate phase control in applications like dimming and motor speed control. Additionally, the sawtooth waveform facilitates the generation of a trigger pulse at a specific point in the AC cycle, ensuring reliable and consistent operation of the thyristor.

How to generate sawtooth waveform of 0 to 5V from square wave of 0 to 15V...?
You will need a regulator circuit that will change the shape of the pulse AND regulate the voltage to 5v.
Why diode should be connected in anti-parallel with thyristor in inverter circuit?
A diode is connected in anti-parallel with a thyristor in an inverter circuit to provide a path for reverse current during the thyristor's off state. This configuration allows the diode to conduct when the voltage across the thyristor becomes negative, ensuring safe operation and preventing damage to the thyristor. Additionally, it helps in managing the switching characteristics and improves the overall reliability of the inverter circuit.

What circumstances led to the invention of the transistor in 1947?
before the invention of transistor,thyristor was used instead of transistor but thyristor produces more heat in the circuit and size is more when compared to transistor
How can a conducting thyristor be turned off?
A conducting thyristor can be turned off by reducing the current flowing through it below the holding current value. This can be achieved by interrupting the current flow using a circuit breaker, reverse biasing the thyristor, or triggering the thyristor with a gate signal that transitions it into a non-conducting state.

What is the thyristor firing circuit?
The thyristor is basically used a switch in an AC circuit to control the amount of power fed to the load. To turn on this switch an "electric" pulse should be applied to the Gate terminal of the Thyristor. A circuit which supplies the "electric" pulse is called the firing circuit.
What is ocillating?
In electronics, it is a circuit which repetitively produces a certain output. This may be a series of pulses or a repetitive waveform such as sine, sawtooth or ramp. In mechanics, a pendelum is an oscillator. An oscillator is the series and parallel combination of resistors and capacitors.
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.

How thyristor fuse works?
A thyristor fuse is a protective device that combines the functions of a fuse and a thyristor to manage overcurrent conditions. When excessive current flows through the circuit, the thyristor detects the overload and rapidly transitions to a conductive state, allowing the current to bypass the fuse element. This action prevents damage to the circuit and protects other components by breaking the circuit more quickly than a traditional fuse. Once the fault is cleared, the thyristor resets, allowing normal operation to resume.
What is a line commutation?
it is the natural commutation ...by making open circuit or short circuit on the thyristor to make it turn off.

Is IC555 is an ac device or dc device?
it is DC powered, but can generate sawtooth or triangular wave AC if wired up properly. it cannot generate sine wave AC, although with an opamp wave shaping circuit the triangular AC waveform can be reshaped to a rough approximation of a sine wave.
