Design of the thyristor modules
Components of the thyristor stack
Each thyristor is connected with a resistor and a capacitor. The resistor and capacitor have the
following tasks:
● Where there are several thyristors in series, the resistor and capacitor split up the supply
voltage equally.
● If the thyristors are switched off, the resistor and capacitor limit the rate of voltage rise and
voltage overshoot.
A thyristor electronics module is assigned to each thyristor. The thyristor electronics are used
to fire the thyristors. The thyristor electronics are supplied with energy from the RC circuit.
