ABSTRACT:
A thyristor turn-off system comprising: a thyristor having at least an anode, a cathode and a gate; a first reverse-bias means for applying reverse-bias between said anode and said cathode of the thyristor; a second reverse-bias means for applying reverse-bias to said gate of the thryistor; means for applying reverse-bias to said gate of the thyristor by said second reverse-bias means during the time of or before or after the forward bias initiation time for shifting between said anode and said cathode of the thyristor from reverse-bias to forward bias; whereby a failure of turn-off of the thyristor is prevented by said gate reverse-bias at least after said forward bias initiation time.
