What is dv/dt protection of thyristor circuit?

When the thyristor is forward biased, junctions J1 and J3 forward biased and junction J2 are reverse biased. This reverse-biased junction J2 exhibits the characteristics of a capacitor. Therefore, if the rate of forwarding voltage applied is very high across the thyristor, the charging current flows through the junction J2 is high enough to turn ON the thyristor even without any gate signal. This is called as dv/dt triggering of the thyristor circuit.
