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 the ...
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 ...
