The circuit in the diagram is a
very handy tool for rapidly
checking all kinds of thyristor
(SCR, triac, …). In case of a
triac, all four quadrants are
tested, which is done with S3,
while in case of a standard
thyristor, a positive power supply
and trigger current need to
be set, which is done with S1.
