  • Detector circuit for thyristors
    Patent number: 4325099
    Abstract: A detector circuit (102) is connected to the gate of a thyristor (103) for generating an output signal indicating the presence of current flowing out of the cathode of the thyristor. A switch circuit (101), which is responsive to a control signal, selectively applies the control signal in a first state to the gate and, when the control signal is in a second state, connects the detector circuit to the gate to detect current flowing out of the gate of the thyristor.
