A thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) is a type of equipment used for compensating reactive power in electrical power systems. It consists of a power capacitor connected in series with a bidirectional thyristor valve and, usually, a current limiting reactor (inductor).
Phase control is the most common form of thyristor AC power control and a basic AC phase-control circuit can be constructed as shown above. Here the thyristors Gate voltage is derived from the RC charging circuit via the trigger diode, D1.
When connected to a direct current DC supply, the thyristor can be used as a DC switch to control larger DC currents and loads. When using the Thyristor as a switch it behaves like an electronic latch because once activated it remains in the “ON” state until manually reset. Consider the DC thyristor circuit below.
By accurately varying the timing relationship between the Gate pulse and the positive half-cycle, the Thyristor could be made to supply any percentage of power desired to the load, between 0% and 50%.
Opening the normally-closed “OFF” push button, S2 breaks the circuit, reducing the circuit current flowing through the Thyristor to zero, thus forcing it to turn “OFF” until the application again of another Gate signal.
The thyristor is a current operated device because a small Gate current can control a much larger Anode current. The Gate-cathode resistor RGK is generally included to reduce the Gate’s sensitivity and increase its dv/dt capability thus preventing false triggering of the device.
