PSPICE Simulation

The program below presents a PSPICE program. The circuit used is shown below. The PSPICE program shown below presents the SCR as a subcircuit. This model of the SCR has been described in the book SPICE FOR POWER ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRIC POWER (Muhammed H.Rashid, Prentice-Hall , 1993, pages 148-160).
