थाइरिस्टर

noun

थाइरिस्टर meaning in English

A semiconductor device used for controlling high power and voltage.

Detailed Explanation

A thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device that acts as a switch. Once triggered into conduction, it remains on until the current through it falls below a certain holding level. It is widely used in industrial applications for power control, such as in motor speed controllers, dimmers, and power supplies.

📝 Cultural Context

In Indian English technical contexts, the term is often used interchangeably with SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), although technically an SCR is a specific type of thyristor. It is a standard term in electrical engineering education and industry in India.
