Abstract: The voltage overshoot when SCR turns off is the main damage cause for SCR in engineering applications. So it is very important to analyze SCR transient turn-off character for system design ...

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of six‐pulse SCR rectifier, which is the building block for the multipulse SCR rectifiers, followed by an analysis of 12‐, 18‐, and 24‐pulse rectifiers. It ...

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 figure above shows a circuit with an SCR. a) As the capacitor voltage increases, the SCR eventually fires (turn on) and rapidly discharges the capacitor. When the SCR opens, the capacitor begins ...
