That is used as a switching device. They are very common in Inverter circuits and can switch up to 1000's of amps.

Is SCR active device?
scr is active component because it's generated energy or amplified energy
How is an SCR turned off?
Once an SCR has been turned on by means of a gate pulse, it latches, or remains on. The only way to turn the SCR off is to either remove the anode to cathode voltage, remove the load current (SCR's have a minimum current below which they will not fire), or reverse bias the SCR. If the SCR is used in an AC circuit, turn off is easy. This is because the voltage falls to zero, then reverse biases the SCR every cycle. This naturally turns off the SCR. In fact, you have to re-trigger the gate every cycle to turn it back on. In a DC circuit, the SCR must be reset by some means as mentioned above. Once the SCR fires, there is nothing you can do to the gate to control the device. The gate only turns it on, not off. There is a similar device, called a GTO, or gate-turn-off device, that can be turned off via the gate. Once an SCR is on it will not turn -off unless the minimum holding current is met. that can be accomplished by reversing anode polarity or by decreasing loading to below holding current
What is the difference between a diode and scr?
A diode mainly consists of only 2 terminals(anode,cathode).A SCR mainly contains one more terminal called GATE.The main purpose of the gate in an SCR is just to provide pulses.The main draw back of SCR is it is not fully controllable device.
Why scr is called as bidirectional an controlled device?
Because it can control input voltage in both halves of cycle.
What is the name of the scr or triac triggering system that triggers the output device at the same point on each ac cycle?
Diac
When an scr turns on it acts like a?
An SCR, a silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. When it turns on it acts like an electronic switch and rectifier.
Is SCR the unipolar device?
SCR is bipolar device since current is due to both electrons as well as holes.
Is SCR active device?
scr is active component because it's generated energy or amplified energy
What is avalanche break down in scr?
A: As the reverse voltage is applied to the SCR increases at a certain point the device will start to conduct that is defined as the breakdown voltage for that device
How do you use scr as a diode?
scr is basically a three terminal device can be used as diode by leaving one terminal
Is a SCR a voltage rating device or a current rating device?
Check the databook for the SCR you are using. Without knowing the part number, I can't look it up for you.
Is scr current controlled device?
yes it is current controlled
What is SCR Give its application?
scr is a silicon control rectifier used to control the rectifing voltage.. its a bidirectional device can use it for both the directions......
What do you call an electronic prompting device?
electronic promting device
