Abstract
This paper shows that the power loss in a thyristor and its commutation circuit can be adequately calculated from a detailed knowledge of the current waveforms and the use of a simple model for conducting thyristors and diodes. In some thyristor circuits, device switching losses can be neglected with little loss in accuracy. Snubber losses are included. The analytical technique described is verified.Keywords
