The BAP1950A SCR gate drivers include isolated analog feedback of critical power-stage parameters, dc bus voltage, output current, and device temperature. The gate drivers control up to 12 SCRs, ...

A series commutated SCR makes a very unusual Solid State Switch in this solar charge regulator control. Advantages include simplicity and robustness. The SCR performs (3) functions: switch, latch and ...

Applied Power Systems announces the release of its BAP3012 next generation twelve pulse gate firing board which provides robust and reliable operation of parallel or series connected SCR (Silicon ...

Fig. 1: The silicon-controlled rectifier One major aspect of development in broadcast transmitter technology and power electronics is in the area of power control. On the traditional transformer, we ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

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 ...

Applied Power Systems announces the BAP3012 next generation twelve pulse gate firing board which provides robust and reliable operation of parallel or series connected SCR (Silicon Controlled ...
