Abstract
A gate controlling circuit for a thyristor converter having a forward/reverse bias voltage detecting circuit connected between the anode and the cathode of one of a plurality of serially connected thyristors in a thyristor arm of the converter for determining whether the thyristor is forward or reverse biased. The output of the forward/reverse bias voltage detector is utilized to control the gate control signals supplied to the thyristors in the thyristor arm.
