In this example, the control voltage 0-10 Volts DC is divided by 16 which gives an increment of
0.625
Volts per 10 KW step.
Here is how it works, in increments of 10 KW and .625 V input voltage:

20 to 30 KW step 2 + SCR (20 fixed + 10 SCR)
from 1.875 to 2.5 V
30 to 40 KW step 1 + step 2 + SCR (30 fixed + 10 SCR)

from 3.125 to 3.75 V
50 to 60 KW step 3 + step 1 + SCR (50 fixed + 10 SCR)
from 3.75 to 4.375 V 60 to 70 KW step 3 + step 2 + SCR (60 fixed + 10 SCR)

from 7.5 to 8.125 V 120 to 130 KW step 4 + step 3 + SCR (120 fixed + 10 SCR)
from 8.125 to 8.75 V
130 to 140 KW
step 4 + step 3 + step 1 + SCR (130 fixed + 10 SCR)
from 8.75 to 9.375 V 140 to 150 KW step 4 + step 3 + step 2 + SCR (140 fixed + 10 SCR)
from 9.375 to 10 V 150 to 160 KW step 4 + step 3 + step 2 + step 1 + SCR (150 fixed + 10 SCR)
Since the SCR step is kept small, it is cost effective compared to a full SCR 160 KW.
