In this chapter we will briefly present these issues. Four important aspects of any language are how it stores data, how it operates on … Read more

Thyristor (SCRs) Commutation Techniques

Thyristor Commutation Techniques Most of the converter equipment and switch-mode power supplies use power electronics components like SCRs, MOSFET and other power semiconductor devices for high frequency switching operations at high-power ratings. Consider the SCRs that we use very frequently as bistable switches in several applications. These SCRs use switches needed to be switched on and … Read more
