Abstract

See full text

A circuit for turning OFF a thyristor. The circuit includes at least one first circuit element configured to provide a high reverse turn-OFF voltage to the thyristor gate for a predetermined period of time. Immediately following the predetermined period of time, at least one second circuit element provides a normal reverse turn-OFF voltage to the thyristor gate. The normal reverse turn-OFF voltage is substantially lower than the high reverse turn-OFF voltage.
