Abstract

An improved switching arrangement for a direct coupled switching power supply is provided by utilizing a gate turn off SCR as the primary switching element and a second SCR as the turn-off control such that upon detection of any of a fully charged storage element, an excessive current through the gate turn off SCR, or an insufficient input voltage, the switch is turned off.
