Abstract
1,240,760. S.C.R. switching circuits. BROWN BOVERI & CIE. A.G. 29 Oct., 1969 [2 Nov., 1968], No. 53013/69. Heading H3T. [Also in Division H2] A bidirectional semi-conductor controlled rectifier is triggered by a bi-stable transistor circuit electrically isolated from the rectifier. In Fig. 1, a triac TL is connected in series with a load V between A.C. terminals 1, 4. Initially a transistor T 1 is conductive and current flows through a lamp L 2 which illuminates a photoconductor F and maintains the triac off. If now a pulse is applied to a terminal 3, the transistor T 1 is burned off together with the lamp L 2 . The voltage across resistors R 6 , R 7 now increases sufficiently to turn on transistor T 2 and lamp L 1 . A subsequent pulse would again reverse the conductive states of the transistors. When the lamp L 2 is off, the photoconductor F changes its resistance and the triac TL is gated on. The components of the circuit are chosen so that switching occurs at zero voltage. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), zero switching is ensured by connecting a pair of transistors between the junction of resistor R 8 and photo-conductor F and the A.C. terminal 4. When the lamp L 2 is on, these transistors are conductive and prevent current flowing to the gate of the triac. When lamp L 2 is off, the triac is gated on at the beginning of the next positive half-cycle, and a capacitor is charged in parallel with the load. This capacitor discharges in the following negative half-cycle to hold the triac on. The photoelectric coupling may be replaced by a thermistor arrangement, and pulses may be transmitted to the switching circuit by proximity, contact, or optically or acoustically controlled devices.
