That is why I went with an SCR in the first place, because its power/current production is not dependent upon the amount of time that the input power/current is supplied.
Or shunt the SCR with a low value resistor. It is not as robust as the reverse voltage source and obviously not for high power, but it is another way.A more realistic option would be a second SCR with series capacitor connected in parallel to the primary switch.
That is the rub. There is no ability to modify the input switch or the output bulb. They are what they are. Which means the solution must be achieved by modification to the circuit itself......
Just to get things right, you can not modify the circuitry from the left of the MOC, regarding post #1 schematic, but Yes you can modify the circuit from the right of the MOC ?There is no ability to modify the input switch or the output bulb. They are what they are. Which means the solution must be achieved by modification to the circuit itself..
This is achieved by the latching nature of the SCR switch. A trigger longer than some ten microseconds starts the current flow which isn't stopped before the load circuit is interrupted.But, I am in a quandary with that approach. The MOSFET's I have seen only supply output power while there is power supplied on the input side. I tried that and it did not work for this application. Reason is because the duration of the input power (momentary switch) is so short that it does not provide enough time for the bulb to fully light.
