thyristors

If any thyristors will still be used in the future, they will use silicon carbide, with which they can be much faster than the silicon thyristors.

The book in question was an electronics catalog dating from middle of 90's, mainly about diodes and thyristors.

Voltage is regulated by changing the windings of transformers in AC-AC systems or by transistors/thyristors in DC coupled networks.

High power motor controllers have been made with plain old BJTs, as well as thyristors and FETs.

It's really common to find thyristors in devices to limit in-rush current, even in cheap electronics.

ABB sells electronic equipment, which is made with components made elsewhere, except for some high-power thyristors that are made by themselves.

SCRs, also known as thyristors, are still widely used in very high power applications.

So wasn't until the 70's you got cheap high quality rectifiers and thyristors.

It's very common to use thyristors in rectifiers in high power applications.

Other metro systems use thyristors, but most other systems run 600–800 VDC.

Classic thyristors are useful only for controlling 50/60 Hz AC consumers.

Thyristors require you have at least one transformer operate at AC line frequency (50/60Hz).

Thyristors are the easiest to make among semiconductor devices that are still used.

Thyristors in the strict sense of the word, i.e.
