Hello all,
I need to connect 4 SCRs to convert a single phase AC source to DC. The SCRs that I have rated for 225AMP in hokey puck package. They will be connect as standard 4 diodes bridge. I am not planning to control them. I just want to use them as diodes. I have controlled SCR in the past and I am aware of how to trigger them via a pulse transformer ...etc. however, is there any way to keep the gate high so they act as diode? In simple, very minimum hardware and uses them as they are diodes?
The AC source will vary from about 20 VAC to 80 VAC coming from a welder transformer. I read several posts and online reading about SCR, however nothing so far meet my requirements.
Thank you in advance,
