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 thyristor control the motor speed?
Thyristors control motor speed by regulating the voltage applied to the motor, which in turn affects its speed. By using phase control techniques, thyristors can adjust the point in the AC cycle at which they are triggered, effectively reducing the average voltage supplied to the motor. This results in a decrease in power and speed. Additionally, thyristors can be employed in various configurations, such as inverters or chopper circuits, further enabling precise speed control in different types of motors.
Generator how it excite its self?
A generator excites it self due to a high power thyristors feeding to a rotor through slip rings. Once excited it lessons maintenance and operational requirements.
Why the negative voltage is not possible in semiconverter?
In a semiconverter, which typically consists of a combination of diodes and thyristors, the output voltage cannot be negative because the diodes only conduct in one direction, allowing current to flow only during the positive half-cycle of the AC input. When the thyristors are triggered, they also only allow current to flow in the forward direction. As a result, the output voltage remains positive or zero, but cannot achieve negative values, limiting the operational range of the semiconverter.
Why silicon is used in scr?
For the same reason it is used in transistors and ICs: its a very good semiconductor. Note: equivalent devices have been made with germanium in the past, when most transistors were germanium. But they called them thyristors not GCRs.

How matrix converter evolved?
At first, there was cycloconverter with thyristors, then matrix converter with IGBT...
Operation of commutating capacitor?
Commutation Capacitors are usually switched in parallel to the thyristors.
Can SCR be replaced by TRIAC?
Yes since the SCRs act as the real thyristors
What are the switching elements used in high voltage?
There are devices called thyristors which are used for switching purposes in high voltage levels. Thyristors are of different typesSCRIGBDiacTriac, etc.Apart from these MOSFETs, a type of transistor, are also used in high voltage switching applications.
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 reverse breakover voltage in scr?
That depends, you should look it up in the datasheet. For some thyristors it's as low as 6V
