I'm designing a thyristor based fully controlled AC-DC converter. I've got all the ratings and part numbers figured out. What I can't decide is how to connect the triggering circuit to the main thyristors. I'm using four thyristors in a bridge configuration. I know how to apply this scheme to a single thyristor , but there seem to be no resources detailing the scheme for a bridge configuration. I'm using an RC circuit to generate the trigger pulses. The circuit is fed from the same AC source that's feeding the converter bridge. Could someone explain how to connect the triggering circuit to the thyristors ?
