For that, the AC voltage is rectified by the diode Ds. PHASE 2 At the end of the phase 1, the voltage across the capacitor C reaches the avalanche threshold of the zener. Then a current flows through the gate of the thyristor Th which fires. The firing of the thyristor causes an alternating current to flow through the capacitor C. The positive parts of this current flow through C, Th and the primary of the HV transformer. The negative parts of the current flow through C, D and the primaty of the HV transformer. COMPONENT CHOICE RS RESISTOR CALCULATION The Rs resistor allows, in addition with the capacitor C, to adjust the spark frequency and to limit the current from the mains. Its value shall allow the thyristor Th to fire even in worst case conditions. In this borderline case, the system must fire with the lowest value of RMS mains voltage while the breakdown voltage and current of the FLC are at the maximum. The maximum Rs value is equal to : Rs max = (V AC min. 2 ) − [V BO max .(1 + α T .( Tamb − 25 ))] k .
