POWER CONTROL UNIVERSITY
Power control,
taught by engineers.
Power Control University is straightforward engineering education, taught by the people who design and build SCR power controllers.
The Idea
SCR power control is technical.
The learning doesn’t have to be painful.
What is Short Circuit Current Rating and why does it matter? How do Phase Angle and Zero Cross firing modes differ? What are good practices when designing an SCR control system?
After 40+ years of fielding the same technical questions, we distilled our accumulated knowledge into Power Control University: a library of free lessons anyone can learn from and apply. With informative short videos and in-depth articles, Power Control University is Control Concepts’ contribution to the collective knowledge of the power control industry – and a great place to start, no matter your knowledge level.
