Thyristor / SCR driver circuit
Post date: Nov 25, 2017 10:17:31 AM
Thyristor and SCR is the same thing.
SCR silicon controlled rectifer is the somewhat outdated name, because the part is not necessarily used as rectifier.
For phase angle switching, a strong pulse is needed.

For zero crossing switching, requirements are somewhat less. 2 moc parts back to back might work.
nuwave automation uses moc parts.
