Abstract
In a gate control circuit for a thyristor converter, in which thyristor valves each having a plurality of series thyristors are connected to form a bridge, a detector for detecting a forward voltage applied across one of the thyristors and a circuit for supplying a gate signal to the gate of that thyristor valve are provided. The gate control circuit further comprises a circuit for supplying, when a bypass pair operation of the thyristor converter is switched over to a deblock operation, a signal to the gate of a continually conductive thyristor valve according to a control signal to a thyristor valve to be operated in deblock with the continually conductive thyristor valve and also a gate signal to the continually conductive thyristor valve.
