“…For an explanation of the realized through thyristor types of higher ratings, which diode action in terms of solid-state physics, see Ref. 34. reduce the number of thyristors and auxiliaries, and by An electromechanical analog of the diode is sketched improved thyristor properties, which simplify their con-in Fig.…”
