  2. Thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...

  3. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    SCR 4-layer (p-n-p-n) diagram. A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid-state current-controlling device.The name "silicon controlled rectifier" is General Electric's trade name for a type of thyristor.

  4. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, gas turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.

  5. Thyristor-controlled reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-controlled_reactor

    The current in the TCR is varied from maximum (determined by the connection voltage and the inductance of the reactor) to almost zero by varying the "Firing Delay Angle", α. α is defined as the delay angle from the point at which the voltage becomes positive to the point at which the thyristor valve is turned on and current starts to flow.

  6. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    The above diagram shows the voltage waveforms of the reservoir performance when supplied from a voltage source with near zero impedance, such as a mains supply. Both voltages start from zero at time t=0 at the far left of the image, then the capacitor voltage follows the rectified AC voltage as it increases, the capacitor is charged and current ...

  7. TRIAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIAC

    A TRIAC (triode for alternating current; also bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor [1]) is a three-terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered. The term TRIAC is a genericised trademark.

  8. Thyristor-switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor-switched_capacitor

    A thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) is a type of equipment used for compensating reactive power in electrical power systems. It consists of a power capacitor connected in series with a bidirectional thyristor valve and, usually, a current limiting reactor ().
