Abstract

A full wave motor control circuit is provided which utilizes a phase fired SCR to control the flow of current through the motor windings. Just before the end of each cycle, the charging capacitor which is connected across the gate and cathode of the SCR is discharged and the effective holding current level of the SCR is raised to insure SCR turn off.
