Re: Silicon Controlled Rectifier

Mitch,
The diodes in series with the coil are redundant and everything looks to be in the wrong polarity to allow current flow. The capacitor that is wired in series with the coil will form an LC circuit which will modify the resultant current in the coil. Also be advised, that fire switch and battery will be elevated to the supply voltage if and when the SCR fires.
