Abstract :
A method is proposed for the rapid numerical calculation (less than 0.5 min with an IBM 370 computer) of thyristor behaviour during transient operation. The dV/dt blocking capability, the gate triggering and the anode-current turnoff are simulated. The results obtained are compared with experimental results.
