125 VAC Lamp Dimmer (full wave SCR) - The full wave phase control
circuit below was found in a RCA power circuits book from 1969. The load is
placed in series with the AC line and the four diodes provide a full wave
rectified voltage to the anode of a SCR. Two small....(electronic schematic

Circuit Protects from Battery Polarity Reversal - This simple
circuit can protect a sensitive electronic circuit from an accidental
connection of a battery with a reversed polarity. The N-channel FET
connects the electronic device to the battery only when the polarity is
correct. The circuit shown was designed for a device powered from a
single 1.5 volts button cell battery. However, the circuit will
operate with higher voltages as well. …. [Designed by David A. Johnson] |

Crow Bar #1 - Depending on the setting or R1, when the voltage
exceeds a certain amount, SCR1 triggers, which activates relay RY1 and opens
the circuit. S1 resets the SCR by interrupting power to it. This
is a simple crow-bar circuit for low amperage protection, up to 4 amps at
30V max. Adjust the SCR for a model that suits your needs…. [Tony van Roon's

Crow Bar #2 - This circuit can be added to any power supply design
that does not have additional circuit protection. When the voltage exceeds
either 10V or 30V, depending on the voltage switch setting via the front
panel, the zener diode ZD1 conducts and fires the gate of the SCR. This
provides a short-circuit over the output voltage and in turn will blow the
AC input fuse of the powersupply you wish to protect.…. [Tony van Roon's

Low Power 12,000 Volt Power Supply - If you need about 12,000
volts DC for an ion generator this circuit might be the ticket. It draws
power from the 120vac power line but it uses a small 6KV camera flash
trigger coil. The output signal is isolated from the power line. Although
the circuit can only deliver about 5uA of current it can produce dangerous
shocks, so be careful.... [Designed by David A. Johnson] |

Miniature Isolated AC/DC Power Supply - This circuit uses a novel
approach to produce a fully isolated and regulated 5 volts @30ma from the
120vac power line. It uses two tiny SCRs that alternately discharge two
capacitors through a miniature high frequency transformer. The voltage
spikes produced through the transformer are rectified, filtered and
regulated. A very common 8-ohm audio impedance matching transformer can be
used for the transformer. Published in EDN, Feb. 17, 1992 …. [Designed by

Schmidt trigger - In Dutch. Ik kan me voorstellen dat de
lezer zijn wenkbrauwen fronst, een Schmitt trigger met transistoren? Die

SCR phase control yields solid-state switch - 03/15/01 EDN-Design
Ideas....SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers]/ PDF contains multiple
circuits scroll to find the one of interest, or thyristors, have higher
current and voltage ratings, lower conduction losses, and more robustness
than triacs. For these reasons, SCRs are better suited to high-power
applications.... EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.

SCR Voltage Regulator - Though not as accurate as a linear or a
high-frequency switching regulator, an SCR voltage regulator wastes little
power and creates no RFI. Designed by Andrew R. Morris (added

Silicon Controlled Rectifier Model Railroad Throttles & London Model
Railroad Group SCR Throttle - The following is a schematic drawing
of a Silicon Controlled Rectifier type throttle for use on larger scale
model railroads. Three versions of this throttle are shown on this page.
They are not sophisticated designs but work well and are tough and reliable.
