CSCs based on conventional thyristors, utilize ac current from the system for commutation of current from one valve to another.

CSCs based on conventional thyristors, utilize ac current from the system for commutation of current from one valve to another. Correct Answer False

CSCs based on conventional thyristors, DO NOT utilize ac current from the system for commutation of current from one valve to another. They use ac voltage from the system for commutation of current from one valve to another. CSCs based on conventional thyristors lack in gate turn-off devices and hence cannot employ the turning-off action for commutation.
