Abstract

See full text

The commutation circuit for commutating a conducting thyristor includes an inductance, a capacitance and a commutation thyristor all connected in series with the conducting thyristor and the dc source, the commutation thyristor initiates the commutation when triggered. The circuit further includes a first diode connected in reverse polarity across the commutation thyristor and a second diode connected in reverse polarity across the commutation thyristor-capacitance series circuit. The voltage across the capacitance is zero when each commutation cycle is initiated, and also when each commutation cycle ends.
