Abstract

A thyristor pulse controller in which current supply to each of a plurality of d.c. loads is controlled by respective main thyristors and a single commutating capacitor common to all the main thyristors is provided, the capacitor being connected across the main thyristors to commutate them one at a time at intervals not less than the time required to forward charge the commutating capacitor from the d.c. source and to reverse the charge on the capacitor.
