INVESTIGATION OF SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIERS FOR STATIC POWER CONVERSION

Abstract

The analysis and method of applying silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) to one kilowatt DC to DC power converters are presented. A study method of optimum frequency for DC converter transformers was developed. The effects of frequency upon over-all converter weight and efficiency isALSO DISCUSSED. Requirements are analyzed for a 1200-watt, 1600-volt DC power converter which uses SCRs. The resultant design of this converter is presented. RF interference-free design techniques for static power devices are appended. (Author)
