This Demonstration allows you to manipulate a simple SCR circuit incorporating a resistive and an inductive load. You can view the interaction of each of the adjustable parameters graphically. The red ball represents the point of operation for any given set of parameters.
The RMS current is calculated using the following formula: , where is the trigger angle, is the load resistance, is the load inductive reactance, and is the supply voltage.
