Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how thyristor and triacs work. I understand
that a thyristor conducts when it's gate recieves a current pulse and
continues to conduct as long as forward biased. How does this differ
from a ordinary bijunction transistor operating in cutoff and
saturation with base working as "the gate"?
A triac is two thyristors connected together. Right? I don't see the
practical use for such a device. Can you give me a hint?
Best regards,
John
