Abstract
The main objectives of developments in high-power thyristor converters are to reduce of cost of development and production and increase reliability. This can be achieved by reducing the complexity of thyristor valves through the use of light-triggered thyristors with integrated protection functions, in this paper we report how the required functions have been realized and on the advantages this has for the application.
