This SCR phase control works much like the common TRIAC dimmer, but has numerous advantages including increased current capability, robustness and absence of minimum voltage “snap-on.” A complementary ...
A force-commutated SCR makes a novel Solid State Switch in a solar charge regulator control. Prior art includes relay and transistor switches, but an SCR switch in this type of DC application may be ...
Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...
