ABSTRACT:
An electrical circuit supplying a load from a voltage source includes a switching device and a diode, and is to be protected from recovery current caused by momentary reversal of the diode current during the operation of the switching device. The electrical circuit further includes a transformer having an excitation winding sensing the reverse recovery current through the diode immediately after operation of the switching device, and a sink winding inductively coupled to the excitation winding for inducing in the sink winding a current proportional to the current in the excitation winding. A unidirectional conducting device directs the current induced in the sink winding to the diode to cause reverse recovery of the diode.
