4. At the beginning of the turn on process the thyristor starts conducting through the area<br />

adjacent to the gate. This area spreads at a finite speed. However, if rate of increase of anode<br />

current is lager than the rate of increase of the current conduction are, the current density<br />

increases with time. This may lead to thyristor failure due to excessive local heating. However, if<br />

the contact area between the gate and the cathode is large a thyristor will be able to handle a<br />
