                         Alfv{\'e}n Br{\'e}silien (TCABR), which is a small tokamak (R0 = 
                         0.62 m and a = 0.2 m) operated at the University of S{\~a}o 
                         Paulo, Brazil. An important part of this upgrade is the 
                         installation of additional poloidal field coils to allow for the 
                         generation of various divertor configurations, such as 
                         single-null, double-null, and snowflake divertor. The control of 
                         these various magnetic configurations requires the development of 
                         17 robust and high-performance power supplies. To identify the 
                         most appropriate solution, thyristor-based and IGBT full-bridge 
                         converter are being considered as possible power electronic 
                         topologies. In this work, a comparison between these two 
                         topologies in terms of controllability and complexity is 
                         presented.",
