Discussion Reply: Thyristors
Thyristors are semiconductors that are, essentially control systems for switching and controlling power. The ones used most are Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), Diode AC Switches (Diacs), Triode AC Switches (Triacs), and Uni-Junction Transistors (UJTs). Here’s a breakdown of each one and how they function: Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs): Three-terminal semiconductors used for controlling the flow of … Read more
