Class A Commutation
In the Class A commutation, the commutating components L and C are used to turn off the SCR. When the load resistance of very small value is used, the inductor L and capacitor C are connected in series with load. Similarly the load resistance of high value is used; the load resistance is connected across capacitor. The value of L and C are selected that the circuit becomes under damped. The current attains zero value at point A as shown in the figure B.
