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.

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).
