When an SCR turns on it acts like n?
An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) acts like a switch when turned on. It can also be used as a rectifier.
Why thyristor is also called as silicon controlled rectifier?
For the same reason that its used in transistors and resistors...Its a semiconductor.
What is a silicon-controlled rectifier?
A silicon-controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch in an electrical circuit. It's a solid state direct current (DC) electronic switch. There is a ton of information including a detailed description of the SCR and a list of applications at the Wikipedia article. A link is posted below.
What is the difference between controlled and uncontrolled rectifier?
A simple rectifier is a diode. It only has two terminals and will only allow electron flow in one direction only. A controlled rectifier (SCR=silicon controlled rectifier) has a third connection (gate). Which as the name suggests, is a gate that controls at which point the rectifier will work. It therefore has a level of control.There are various types and you would need the application specification, to get the best use of them.
What is single phase Controlled rectifier?
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.
What is phase control?
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.
