What is the purpose of double pulsing a thyristor?
Could you explain what a commutation circuit is?
Sure. A commutation circuit is a circuit that is used to turn off the thyristor. It works by reversing the voltage across the thyristor to force it to turn off. This is done by using a capacitor and an inductor to create a high voltage spike across the thyristor in the opposite direction to the current flow.
