Simple Thyristor Switching using Snubber Circuit
In this article thyristors are switches used in power electronics to regulate high voltage and current. They are often referred to as SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers). A gate signal activates them, and the only way to turn them off is to stop the current flow. On the other hand, voltage spikes and abrupt current fluctuations […]
