- Thyristor - Wikipedia
A thyristor is used in conjunction with a Zener diode attached to its gate, and if the output voltage of the supply rises above the Zener voltage, the thyristor will conduct and short-circuit the power supply output to ground (in general also tripping an upstream breaker or fuse)

A thyristor is a type of semiconductor that has three electrodes: anode, cathode and gate Learn how they work and what applications they are used for
- What is Thyristors in Power Electronics ? - GeeksforGeeks
A thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device, consisting of alternating P-type and N-type materials (PNPN) A thyristor usually has three electrodes: an anode, a cathode and a gate, also known as a control electrode Thyristor symbol representation is shown below: Thyristor-circuit-symbol
- Thyristor or Silicon Controlled Rectifier Tutorial
In this thyristor tutorial, we will look at the construction and operation of the thyristor, also known as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier, or SCR in more detail, and see that it is basically a four-layer semiconductor device which can be used in various switching applications
