Thyristor Rectifier/Inverter

Purpose

Three-phase thyristor rectifier/inverter.

Library

Converters

Description

[Picture]

Implements a three-phase rectifier or inverter based on the Thyristor model. The gate input is a vector of six signals ordered according to the natural sequence of commutation. This sequence corresponds to the numbering of the thyristors in the electrical circuits below. The rectifier is shown on the left side, the inverter on the right:
