What else can I help you with?
Why do you require the synchronized pulse for triggering the SCR?

An SCR conducts appreciable current when Anode and gate are both negative?
No, an SCR conducts when the anode and gate are both positive.
When An SCR conducts appreciable current?
And SCR will conduct appreciable current when it is gated "on" and thus "told" to conduct. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) is an electronically controlled DC switch, and the gate is the terminal to which the control voltage is applied. Use the link below to learn more.
What happens if gate voltage of an ON scr is decreased?
A: Nothing after an SCR conduct the gate has no more control to shut it off. So how do we shut off an SCR two way reverse the voltage on the SCR or reduce the current below the holding current. SCR are not DC friendly once on they stay on until see above
Why does a SCR have negative resistance?
Whenever you measure resistance, the resistance itself cannot be negative!When an SCR (Semiconductor Controlled Rectifier) is not conducting, it has a high resistance between its anode and its cathode. When its gate is triggered and the SCR is conducting, it has a low resistance between its anode and its cathode.For more information about SCRs, see the answer to the Related Question (for which a link is shown below) and also the Related Link.
What happen when plus ve gate pulse given to reverse baise scr?
You cannot turn an SCR off by reverse biasing the gate. Once it is on (anode to cathode), it stays on until the forward current AND the gate current drops to the required threshold level. That said, you can pulse the anode negatively to turn an SCR off, so long as you don't exceed the reverse bias limits of the device. This is how (photographic) flash devices, for one example, can modulate the duration of the flash.
What happens if voltage is constant and current is varying when an scr triggers?
Even if the current is varying,as long as the current reaches the value required to trigger the SCR, it will snap into operation. The SCR will remain in operation until the current through it drops to a value below the holding current.
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 forward breakover voltage in scr?
Forward breakover voltage (V_BO) in a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is the minimum voltage required to trigger the device into conduction when a positive voltage is applied across its anode and cathode. Once this voltage is reached, the SCR transitions from its off state (blocking) to its on state (conducting), allowing current to flow through it. This parameter is critical for determining the SCR's operating limits in various applications, such as power control and switching.
Why SCR is not called GCR?
because it is gcr not scr
What is the basic function of the SCR's gate electrode?
The SCR's gate electrode is used to turn the SCR on, i.e. fire it.
What is a signal pulse transformer?
usually a small transformer ferrite rather than iron core for short pulses it is more for isolation than anything else trigger for scr or triac the previous question for a power pulse transformer these are in cars ignition transformers the newer cars generally have one on each cylinder the computer may feed may feed a signal pulse through the small transformer to isolate the computer from the big one. to an scr to discharge a capacitor thru the ignition transformer (cars use the terms condenser and coil)
