What is SCR in drilling rig?
It is a silicon-controlled rectifier, converting AC to DC for use in drawworks, mud pumps, etc.:silicon-controlled-rectifier
Why Silicon Controlled Rectifier is called current controlled device?
Because it is controlled by the gate current
Difference between silicon-controlled rectifier and diode?
silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
What is designed to use a small current to control a large current?
A silicon controlled rectifier falls into this category.
Why thyristor is also called as silicon controlled rectifier?
For the same reason that its used in transistors and resistors...Its a semiconductor.
The conclusion of a silicon controlled rectifier?
conclusion of silicon control rectifier

Why Silicon Controlled Rectifier is called current controlled device?
Because it is controlled by the gate current
Why it is named silicon controlled rectifier?
i got no idea mate
On a silicon-controlled rectifier which wire is the anode and which the cathode?
Anode is positive, cathode is negative
Difference between silicon-controlled rectifier and diode?
silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
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.
What is the cost of silicon controlled rectifier?
A: A hockey pack package $300 a TO18 package $0.10
Why silicon controlled rectifier doesn't work in reverse biased condition?
Because when reverse biased it behaves like any other rectifier/diode.
Is a silicon controlled rectifier used for computers?
I have seen them used, yes. However it is rather rare now.
What is designed to use a small current to control a large current?
A silicon controlled rectifier falls into this category.
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.
