<p data-start="57" data-end="538" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">A thyristor is a semiconductor switch used in high-power applications. It features a four-layer, three-terminal design and remains conducting after activation until current drops below a threshold. Known for high voltage handling, efficiency, and reliability, thyristors are essential in motor control, power conversion, voltage regulation, and industrial automation. Common types include SCRs, TRIACs, and GTOs, each suited for specific power applications.</p>
