  • Discharge device control circuit including a thyristor
    Patent number: 3940659
    Abstract: A main capacitor is connected across a series combination of a flash discharge lamp and a thyristor to flash the flash discharge lamp through the thyristor in its ON state. A commutation circuit connected to the thyristor includes a commutation capacitor and another thyristor turned on upon a flashing light from the flash discharge lamp reaching a predetermined magnitude. When turned on, the latter thyristor permits the commutation capacitor to supply a reverse voltage to the first thyristor to turn it off. A semiconductor diode is connected between the commutation capacitor and the first thyristor to prevent that capacitor from applying a forward voltage to the first thyristor.
