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 are the switching devices for this unusual DC to DC converter that is suited for the ubiquitous 5V USB power source as well as numerous other applications. This novel power circuit topology uses ...

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 ...
