Thyristor are current operated devices, a small Gate current controls a larger Anode current. ... The thyristor acts like a rectifying diode once it is triggered \u201cON\u201d. Anode current must be greater than holding current to maintain conduction. Blocks current flow when reverse biased, no matter if Gate current is applied.
