A thyristor is a semiconductor device which acts as a
switch. However, when switched on it can only pass current
in one direction. It is in fact a switchable diode
sometimes known as a silicon controlled rectifier. To
switch alternating current two devices are connected in
inverse parallel.
Each device is turned on at the appropriate time by a
trigger pulse applied to the gate and the device will
remain on until the instantaneous load current through it
drops to zero.
The trigger pulses are generated by a driver - which times
the pulses to ensure the thyristor unit output is a
function of the input demand signal (e.g. from a
controller) in the selected Firing Mode.
Eurotherm thyristor units incorporate the thyristor
devices, together with the driver and the heatsink which
dissipates the heat generated by the thyristor devices.
Many units include internal high speed fuses to protect the
thyristors from high overload currents. The benefits of
thyristor units are numerous. They offer a reliable long
term alternative to electromechanical devices reducing the
necessity for ongoing maintenance.
Thyristor units are particularly cost effective for fast
systems, for complex loads involving transformers and/or
heaters whose resistance changes with temperature or time

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE
