Re: SISG

I probably should have clarified a bit.  Why is a SIDAC/IGBT setup 
used as opposed to a zener diode/SCR setup used?    (trigger/power 
switch).  Wouldn't the SCR automatically turn off when the current 
dropped below a certain level, sort of like a spark gap?

Why does the SISG use SIDACS to trigger an IGBT, rather than a triac, 
or back to back SCRs with a zener diode on the gate(s)?
