Abstract
A gate controlling circuit for a thyristor converter having an inverse bias voltage detecting circuit which detects the inverse bias voltage across a thyristor and is connected between the anode and cathode of serially connected thyristors in a thyristor valve. A gate signal to all of the thyristors is supplied when the output of the inverse bias voltage detecting circuit drops or becomes zero after all of the thyristors are turned off.
