and cathode is less than the holding current. 2.) Gate Turn Off Thyristor A. Introduction Gate turn off (GTO) is a type of thyristor that can be turned on and turned off. The turning on and off of the device can be accomplished by applying the correct voltage in the gate terminal. Applying a positive voltage to the gate terminal turns the GTO in on state while applying a negative voltage turns the GTO in off state. GTO advantages : ➢ High voltage and current
