This invention concerns a protective device for at least one thyristor. Separate measuring sensors are provided for determining the thyristor parameters of current and the magnitude and rising slope of the thyristor voltage. The measuring sensors are followed by a comparison stage which compares the parameters with definite, predetermined conditions, and transmits a trigger pulse for the thyristor. With the protective device according to the invention, the thyristor can be fired by means of its control electrode during the recovery time of the thyristor, if an overvoltage occurs. |
