Three-phase bridge SCR control of load. REVIEW: A Silicon-Controlled Rectifier, or SCR, is essentially a Shockley diode with an extra terminal added. This extra terminal is called the gate, and it is used to trigger the device into conduction (latch it) by the application of a small voltage.
REVIEW: A Silicon-Controlled Rectifier, or SCR, is essentially a Shockley diode with an extra terminal added. This extra terminal is called the gate, and it is used to trigger the device into conduction (latch it) by the application of a small voltage.
Fig. 10.8(a) reveals the circuit diagram of an SCR used as half-wave rectifier. In the figure, T is a transformer, R L the load resistance connected in series with the anode while Rh is the variable resistance inserted in the gate circuit for controlling the gate current.
Basic operation and practical application circuits for SCRs. An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is a controllable medium- to high-power self-latching solid-state DC power switch. This article explains its basic operation and shows some practical ways of using it.
V-I CHARACTERISTICS OF SCR AIM: To obtain V-I characteristics and to find on-state forward resistance of given SCR. To determine holding, latching current and break over voltage of given SCR. APPARATUS REQUIRED: Trainer kit, Patch cards, Multimeters. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM: Fig 1.1(a) Circuit diagram for VI characteristics of SCR.
This article covers Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) construction, Operation, Commutation, Characteristics, Gate Requirements, Testing, and Applications along with the relevant circuit and block diagrams.
This application note considers only noninsulated power supplies. After a brief description of the triggering quadrants and key parameters for SCR, triac, ACS and ACST, the usual control circuits are described according to the output voltage polarity of the power supply.
