Abstract

Abstract In order to improve the performance of series connected thyristors these are provided with an individual electrode connected to a n-layer or a p-layer nearest the anode respectively the cathode of each thyristor. A separate DC voltage source supplies this electrode with a voltage, called booster voltage, and is connected in such a circuit that the source in the case of a chain of a number of series connected thyristors serves simultaneously two adjacent thyristors in the chain.
