Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of ...

Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are interesting devices that can be used for on-chip ESD protection, if (and only if) they are properly designed and biased. SCRs ...

When silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are used in electrical controls, we frequently experience line voltage distortion in the form of “notches” in the waveform. The types of equipment that ...

This SCR phase control works much like the common TRIAC dimmer ... First it provides a circuit to absorb reactive energy when either SCR recovers (stops conducting current). As you may know, a ...

bridges for high power phase-control and power conversion applications using up to 100mm devices. The BAP3012 controls two six pulse SCR bridges which can be operated in parallel or series mode ...

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 ...

announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of lamp-based heating applications. Delivering unprecedented speed and accuracy, the new Thyro-XD ...

The circuit in Figure 1 sends a pulse to an SCR (silicon-controlled-rectifier) crowbar circuit when the 555’s input pulls low due to a fault-detection circuit. The 555 timer chip is unpowered until a ...

Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers ... usually with a triac or SCR. Two switching methods are often used to control ac power: phase ...
