What Thyristor? SCR or Triac?Hello everyone
I want to rectify a half-wave using a thyristor and trigger it using a 555 timer using the Proteus program, but I cannot. Can someone help me?
Could you have a look at the file pleaseThe reason of RC derivative after 555 is the SCR should be triggered with very short pulse.
If the frequency of AC is 50Hz (20ms period) the trigger pulse width to SCR gate should be about 100us.
If the Rg in gate is 100 ohm pick the C about 470nF and the bottom R=1k.
Btw, since the 555 outputs positive pulse you need to place a NOT gate after it. So the trigger pulse to SCR is generated after 555 falling edge (the NOT gate rising edge):

An option to get rid of NOT and RC is to use a next 555 monostable generated a 100us positive pulse for triggering the SCR.
Sorry , I don’t have Proteus installed. Paste a screen here.Could you have a look at the file please
The problem is that it never gives me an output signal, and most likely I don't know how to connect the 555 to the detector and create a trigger.Sorry , I don’t have Proteus installed. Paste a screen here.
Look at this waveThis is 555 monostable. It is triggered by pulling pin2 low. There are plenty of calculators on internet to obtain R and C for desired timing.

I want to ask you if the detector is connected correctly like this
I put the load from the bottom and I got this signal but there is still a little bit at the bottom. What do you think is the problem?You are just shorting the DC power supply with optocouplers transistor. It doesn’t trigger the 555.
Remove the push button and use 2n7000 transistor instead:
(Note: I didn’t draw the parts around 555.)
