Thyristor current converter with means for rapidly extinguishing the load current
Abstract
Abstract IN A THYRISTOR CURRENT CONVERTER HAVING A CONTROL PULSE DEVICE FOR DELIVERING CONTROL PULSES TO THE MAIN THYRISTORS, AND AT LEAST ONE EXTINGUISHING CIRCUIT FOR EXTINGUISHING EACH THYRISTOR AT THE END OF ITS CONDUCTING INTERVAL, AND HAVING AN OSCILLATOR FOR CONTROLLING THE OPERATING RATE OF THE CONTROL PULSE DEVICE AND THE EXTINGUISHING CIRCUIT, THE LOAD CURRENT IS RAPIDLY EXTINGUISHED BY AN ARRANGEMENT WHICH FIRST BLOCKS THE CONTROL PULSES TO THE MAIN THYRISTORS AND SECOND REGULATES THE CONTROL SIGNAL APPLIED TO THE OSCILLATOR SO THAT THE OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY IS HIGHER DURING THE BLOCKING INTERVAL THAN IMMEDIATELY PRIOR THERETO. THE BLOCKING INTERVAL IS SUFFICIENT TO PERMIT THE EXTINGUISHING CIRCUIT TO EXTINGUISH ALL OF THE THYRISTORS.
