Corpus analysis for Thyristor
- In this selection, "thyristor" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 28.8 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, current, plus, level and control stand out and add context to how "thyristor" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include across each thyristor and as a thyristor level. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "thyristor" sits close to words such as aaba, aafc and aaib, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with thyristor
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
The thyristor plus its grading circuits and other auxiliary equipment is known as a thyristor level. (16 words)
The 85 existing 1992-stock trains are the most unreliable on the London Underground as they are equipped with the first generation of solid state direct current thyristor control traction equipment. (31 words)
This results from requiring the AC circuit to turn off the thyristor current and the need for a short period of 'reverse' voltage to effect the turn-off (turn-off time). (31 words)
Additional passive components such as grading capacitors and resistors need to be connected in parallel with each thyristor in order to ensure that the voltage across the valve is evenly shared between the thyristors. (34 words)
In the indirect optical triggering method, low-voltage control electronics send light pulses along optical fibres to the high-side control electronics, which derives its power from the voltage across each thyristor. (32 words)
