That depends, you should look it up in the datasheet. For some thyristors it's as low as 6V
forward breakover voltage is slightly smaller than reverse breakdown voltage
forward-breakover voltage - the voltage at which a device enters the forward-blocking region. The voltage at which the SCR enters the forward-condition region. The value of Vbr(f) is maximum when (Ig=current in gate) Ig=0 and is designate Vbr(f0). When the gate current is increased, Vbr(f) decrease and is designated Vbr(f1), Vbr(f2), and so on, for increasing steps in gate current (Ig1, Ig2, and so on).
Schottky
the voltage at which the current conduction occur
A sinusoidal AC waveform is divided up into 360 degrees, with the positive half and the negative half of the waveform combined into a kind of circle. The firing angle simply refers to the point on the waveform, as measured in degrees (thus 'angle') which the thyristor is triggered into conduction. Answer2: Firing angle is the phase angle of the voltage at which the scr turns on. There are two ways of turning an scr on..one is by applying a gate current or by applying a voltage across the scr until it becomes greater than the breakover voltage.... Answer3: Thyristor need gate current and voltage to make it conduct. The firing angle is the sinusoidal increasing voltage. As it rises a voltage is reached with enough power to fire to trigger the gate. That voltage is the angle considering that a sinusoidal is 360 degrees per cycle.
One voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. The greater of the two voltages in thyristor is forward breakover voltage.
It is stated that one of the voltage is greater in thyristor whether it be forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. It is also stated that the greater of the 2 voltages in thyristor is the forward breakover voltage.
forward breakover voltage is slightly smaller than reverse breakdown voltage
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
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

SUS - Silicon Unilateral Switchis a type of thyristor used as a breakover device that conducts current in only one direction, it has a third terminal that is used to alter the breakover voltage if connected to a zener diode.SBS - Silicon Bilateral Switchis a type of thyristor used as a breakover device which is capable of triggering triacs, it has a lower breakover voltage compared to triacs.
An SCR has three legs. The anode, cathode, and gate. The control voltage sent to the gate will allow the SCR to conduct.
