Abstract A thyristor overvoltage protection circuit wherein an avalanche diode conducts to divert overvoltage energy from a thyristor to avoid self-ignition of the thyristor when the overvoltage reaches a particular level. A simula- tor circuit monitors the thermal loading on the conducting diode and activates an ignition pulse device if the thermal loading exceeds the safe operational range of the diode. The activated ignition pulse device ignites the thyristor so that the thyristor may divert the overvoltage energy and thereby discharge the diode.
