Explanation of Solution

The bi directional device that is used to control the phase shift in thyristors is called the DIAC. The DIAC can be turned in both the polarities forward bias and the reverse bias above a certain voltage.

The DIAC operates in the same way as the unijunction transistor. The DIAC operates in both AC and DC. The DIAC is used to trigger the TRIAC and other thyristors family device.
