<p>HIGH-VOLTAGE THYRISTOR CONVERTER A high-voltage thyristor converter having a plurality of series-connected thyristor units and a gate control system. Each of the series-connected thyristor units has a plurality of series-connected thyristors and a gate-drive power supply circuit (hereinafter referred to as a gate power supply) connected between both extreme ends of the series-connected thyristors for supplying gate-drive power to the thyristors. The gate control system detects whether or not an output voltage of the gate power supply of at least one of the series-connected thyristor units is equal to or higher than a predetermined value and transmits a gate signal simultaneously to all of the thyristors when the output voltage is higher than the predetermined value, so that a protective action for preventing breakdown of the thyristors can be performed upon an instantaneous power failure or the like trouble.</p> |
