Power thyristor how to check?
A thyristor is a rectifier semiconductor between two electrodes that permit unidirectional flow in anodes and cathodes.The flow of the current can be switched by a gate electrode that controls main driven electrical devices.To check a thyristor the current flow (between emitter/collector terminals) is checked.Then a small base current is applied to see if the thyristor functions as a switch.
What is the ratio of latching current to holding current?
Latching current is the current flowing between anode to Cathode when thyristor is turned on using gate pulse. If the gate pulse is removed before the required min amount of latching current value is not reached thyristor will turn off. To keep the thyristor in on state the gate pulse duration should be so adjusted that the min latching current value is reached before it ends.
Why thyristor used in resistance welding machine?
For firing current between the the moving arm of the gun and the fixed arm
What is the difference between MOSFET and thyristor?
They are both commonly used electrical switches. Some of the differences are that whereas Mosfet switches are voltage driven devices and can only switch DC current, Thyristor switches are current driven and can switch both AC and DC.
What is the relation between current and thikness of conductor?
The thicker the conductor, the less the current that will flow through.
Why a UJT is not a thyristor?
Because to remain in conduction it requires a supply of emitter current. Without a minimum value of emitter current it can't stay in the on position. Most thyristors do not require gate current after they are turned on to remain in conduction

What is holding current and latching current?
HOLDING CURRENT: The minimum value of current that must be there to provide a path between anode and cathode to flow anode current and thus maintain a thyristor in the on state.0 LATCHING CURRENT: The minimum anode current required to maintain a thyristor in on-state immediately after a thyristor has be triggered on. IL>IHrate of flow of charge is known as current
Can we replace a thyristor by a mosfet?
No because a mosfet does not work the same as a thyristor. In a thyristor the current flows even when the gate pulse is removed, until the current stops. That is not the case for a FET.

What does forced commutation mean?
The term "Forced commutation" is used when a thyristor is turned off using external components. If a thyristor is used in a DC circuit, when first turned on, it will stay on until the current goes to zero. To turn off the thyristor it is possible to use a Forced commutation circuit. The circuit creates a reverse voltage over the thyristor (and a small reverse current) for a short time, but long enough to turn off the thyristor. A simple circuit consist of a precharged capacitor and a switch (e.g. another thyristor) parallel to the thyristor. When the switch is closed, the current is supplied by the capacitor for a short while. This cause a reversed voltage over the thyristor, and the thyristor is turned off.
Is thyristor a current controlled or voltage control device?
Triac is the current control device.
What are the necessary conditions for turning ON an silicon controlled rectifier?
A: Two conditions one the gate has current flowing trough the other is forward voltage breakdown
What is the Relation between temperature and current?
inversly proportional
Anode current in an thyristor is made up of?
Holes and electrons
What is the difference between MOSFET and thyristor?
They are both commonly used electrical switches. Some of the differences are that whereas Mosfet switches are voltage driven devices and can only switch DC current, Thyristor switches are current driven and can switch both AC and DC.
