Ukusetshenziswa okuyisisekelo kakhulu kwe-silicone ejwayelekile elawulwa kabusha ukulungiswa okulawulwayo. Umjikelezo ojwayelekile wokulungisa umjikelezo ongalawuleki wokulungisa. Uma i-diode ithathelwa indawo yi-rectifier elawulwa yi-silicon, isifunda sokubuyisela esilawulwayo singakhiwa. Enye yesifunda esilula esilawulekayo sesigaba esisodwa segagasi elilawulekayo. Phakathi nomjikelezo omuhle wesigamu se-sinusoidal AC voltage u2, uma i-electrode yokulawula ye-VS ingafaki i-trigger pulse ug, i-VS namanje ayikwazi ukuvulwa. Kuphela uma i-u2 ikumjikelezo wesigamu esihle futhi i-trigger pulse ug isetshenziswa ku-electrode yokulawula, i-thyristor iqalwa ukuthi ivulwe. Uma ug efika kusenesikhathi, i-thyristor izovula kusenesikhathi; uma i-ug ifika sekwephuzile, i-thyristor izovula sekwephuzile. Ngokushintsha isikhathi sokufika se-trigger pulse ug esigxotsheni sokulawula, inani eliphakathi le-ul ye-voltage ephumayo emthwalweni ingalungiswa. Kwezobuchwepheshe, umjikelezo wesigamu sokushintshana kwamanje uvame ukusethwa njengo-180°, okubizwa nge-engeli kagesi. Ngale ndlela, emjikelezweni ngamunye wesigamu esihle se-u2, i-engeli kagesi etholwayo ukusuka kunani elinguziro kuya kumzuzu wokushaywa kwe-trigger ibizwa ngokuthi i-engeli yokulawula u-α; i-engeli kagesi lapho i-thyristor eqhuba khona kumjikelezo ngamunye oqondile ibizwa ngokuthi i-conduction angle θ. Ngokusobala, kokubili u-α no-θ asetshenziselwa ukukhombisa ukuqhutshwa noma ukuvimba ububanzi be-thyristor phakathi nomjikelezo wesigamu we-voltage eya phambili. Ngokushintsha i-engeli yokulawula engu-α noma i-engeli conduction θ, isilinganiso senani le-ul ye-voltage ye-pulse DC emthwalweni iyashintshwa, futhi ukulungiswa okulawulwayo kuyenzeka. Kusekhethi yokulungisa ibhuloho, ama-diode amabili kuphela adinga ukushintshwa kufakwe izihlengi ezilawulwa yi-silicon ukuze kwakheke isekethe yokubuyisela elawulwa yigagasi eligcwele.
