Abstract

See full text

A three-state switch designed to be inserted in an ac supply circuit and associated with a state selection circuit. In a first state, the switch is open and does not allow current to flow. In a second state, the switch allows current of a first polarity to flow. In a third state, the switch allows a current of a second polarity to flow. The switch includes a cathode gate thyristor and an anode gate thyristor connected head-to-tail, the gate of the cathode gate thyristor forming a control terminal and being connected through a resistor to the gate of the anode gate thyristor.
