Thyristors

One or two of the thyristor stacks are used for a 6-pulse bridge. They differ in the number of
pick-offs from the heat sinks. The thyristor stacks are equipped with various thyristors and
corresponding RC (resistor, capacitor) circuitry. Six thyristors are braced in one clamped
thyristor assembly.
