A crowbar circuit is an electrical circuit used for preventing an overvoltage or surge condition of a power supply unit from damaging the circuits attached to the power supply. It operates by putting a short circuit or low resistance path across the voltage output (V o ), like dropping a crowbar across the output terminals of the power supply.

List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE.The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.
It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. A wiring diagram usually gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device.
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
A circuit diagram representing an analog circuit, in this case a simple amplifier. Analog electronic circuits are those in which current or voltage may vary continuously with time to correspond to the information being represented. A simple schematic showing wires, a resistor, and a battery. The basic components of analog circuits are wires ...
Simple electrical construction and well-known technology; Low fundamental investment for chopper and resistor; The chopper works even if AC supply is lost. Braking during main power loss may be required. E.g. in elevator or other safety related applications.
This circuit using a Triac rather than an SCR has an additional protection against reversed polarity. However, residual reverse voltage is higher than using Si diodes or Schottky diodes. In case of reverse voltage, the TL431 will conduct with its output protection diode. This current will eventually fire the triac.
