Yesterday, 00:03betwixt replied to a thread Where to get schematics about SCRs full-wave triggering circuits ? in Power ElectronicsFvM - not according to the schematic in post #42. With the pots at minimum resistance it places 240V AC across the 100uF capacitor. Not quite...59 replies | 1976 view(s)

28th March 2020, 21:45betwixt replied to a thread Where to get schematics about SCRs full-wave triggering circuits ? in Power ElectronicsLook at what happens if you set both potentiometers to minimum resistance - you effectively connect the capacitor across the incoming AC. That means...59 replies | 1976 view(s)
