Merge suggestion[edit]

Is the animated gif accurate? It looks like it is rectified but it in't clear where the rectification is happening. If it is plain AC through a Thyristor, shouldn't it have a half-wave gap while it is reverse biased during the negative part of the cycle? Drf5n (talk) 17:55, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my own animation of a phase-fired non-rectified AC:
