Abstract

See full text

Various apparatuses and methods for starting a thyristor are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments provide an apparatus for controlling power to a load. The apparatus includes a thyristor, a secondary load switchably connected to an output of the thyristor, and a sensor connected to the secondary load. The sensor is adapted to connect the secondary load to the thyristor when the output of the thyristor falls below a predetermined level.
