ABSTRACT:
An AC solid state switch includes an inverse parallel connection of a pair of silicon controlled rectifiers. A circuit branch which includes the series connection of the main conducting paths of a pair of field effect transistors is electrically connected in parallel with the inverse parallel arrangement of silicon controlled rectifiers. Gate power sources provide continuous gate drive signals to the silicon controlled rectifiers and field effect transistors. By including the field effect transistors, voltage transients across the switch are reduced in high frequency AC power systems.
