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).
