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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
