The SCR over voltage crowbar protection circuit
the zener diode ZD1 becomes forward biased, that in turns switches "OFF" the
SCR1, that interrupts output current
the SCR1 turns "ON" connecting overvoltage to ground
the zener diode, ZD1, enters zener regulation region, which causes the output
voltage to return to a normal 5V
the SCR1 turns "OFF" disconnecting overvoltage from the output
