The circuit above is in steady state with the switch open and the SCR is in the conducting state. The voltage drop across the SCR is 1 V while it is conducting. The switch is then closed at t = 0 , ...

SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers), or thyristors, have higher current and voltage ratings, lower conduction losses, and more robustness than triacs. For these reasons, SCRs are better suited to ...

Front end topology and some tips to design a mixed bridge circuit that effectively protects the design from an overvoltage. A robust solution using a new SCR generation and front end topologies that ...
