Question: What is minimum firing angle for three-phase thyristor?
Answer: The minimum firing angle for three-phase thyristor is 30 degrees. Because under thatĀ angle the thyristor is already reverse biased by the third thyristor that is already conducting.
If firing angle is between 0 to 30 the circuit works in continuous conduction mode.
