This firing circuit generates isolated triggering pulses for different circuits. The firing angle can be varied from 180⁰ to 0⁰ with a resolution of 1⁰ while the duty cycle can be varied from 90% to 10%. A thumb wheel switch is provided to vary either of the parameter. The firing scheme is based on ZCD, fixed frequency line synchronized clock generator, up/down counter, flip flop and pulse transformer isolation method.
The connections are brought a front panel through terminals and the entire setup is enclosed in a powder coated MS box.
