27 Thyristors | Power Electronics

The video tutorial covers silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR) and thyristors, explaining their structure, operation, and characteristics. It discusses the IV curve, latching and holding currents, and methods to switch off thyristors, including the use of gate turn-off thyristors (GTO). The tutorial also explores applications of thyristors in controlling energy delivery to loads, such as in resistive loads, and introduces concepts like delay and conduction angles.
