Abstract :
Although high peak currents and fast risetimes can be simultaneously obtained for relatively short pulses in semiconductor thyristors, no extensive study of thyristor operation under pulse conditions has been reported. This work demonstrates that reliable repetitive operation over millions of pulses can be obtained for pulse widths of around 1 ms.
