COMBINING THYRISTOR CIRCUITS OF VARIOUS CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS

摘要

COMBINING THYRISTOR CIRCUITS OF VARIOUS CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS Thyristors included in circuit configurations are, in turn, connected to series circuit fashion such that n circuit configurations are so interconnected, where n is a real integer equal to or greater than 2. The circuit configurations provide a combination of functions such as current limiting, voltage distribution, assumption of storage load, limitation of commutation voltage and limitation of search voltage. The combined circuit configurations provide the most practical arrangement of desired characteristics to meet the requirements for specific applications.
