The articleCurrent Switches is the subject of several articles :

Elementary structures ;
[D 3 173] Thyristor current switches ;
Real-source operation of thyristor switches ;
Forced switching operation ,

and the subjects are not independent of each other. Readers will often need to refer to other articles.

This article examines the main thyristor and diode current switch structures operating in natural switching. Their properties are established assuming perfect voltage and current sources, and ideal thyristors (instantaneous switching).
