A: It is OK if a way to insure that the SCR can be shut off otherwise it will conduct forever. the only way to shut off an SCR while is on is to reduce the current below them holding current point or by reversing the polarity briefly

When you connect a full-wave SCR circuit to a 60Hz AC supply how many DC pulastions will you get?
120
What does a thyristor works as a circuit breaker?
A thyristor is a type of semi-conductor and is used in a circuit to control the application of electrical power to a load. They are often found as the switching element in light dimmers and can be used as control elements in power supplies (variable or regulated). Types of thyristors are diacs, triacs, sidacs and SCRs (silicon controlled rectifier).
Why SCR does not latch in AC circuit?
because it doesnt
The dc output of a controlled rectifier is controlled by?
A: An SCR does not produce DC per say but rather is the result of rectification. THE GATE will turn on the SCR when there is enough current available on the SCR. The SCR will not however shut of when the gate potential is reduced or removed. the two way to shut off an SCR is by removing the gate potential AND reducing holding current OR inverting the potential on the anode
Why we don't use triac in case of ac controlled rectfier rather than scr?
A TRIAC does not have a symmetrical turn-on point in the opposite quadrant. This will introduce a DC bias, which you probably don't want. You can use an SCR, and then add diodes to allow it to operate in the opposite quadrant, or you can use two SCR's. Alternatively, you can use a DIAC in the TRIAC's gate circuit to balance the turn on point.

Does an SCR work on DC or ac?
SCR's are mainly used in AC circuits. They could be used in DC circuits but they then would not be able to turn off. They require the zero crossing of the AC circuit to turn off. Then when positively biased they can be turned back on.

Why scr is used in ac or dc voltage regulator?
The only use of an SCR in a powersupply regulator that I know of is a Crowbar protection circuit to force the breaker to pop if the regulation fails and the powersupply output voltage rises too high.
Scr firing circuit diagram with diode?
K = 1 [π − α + 1 sin(2α )] is the formula of calculating the SCR firing circuit diagram with diode.

Inverter circuit help. I need to simulate circuit in multisim software If possible try to find circuit with SCR since it is required to use it. but without SCR would also work for me?

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
How do you conduct test on speed control of DC motor using SCR?
Connect the SCR in series with the armature or field and control the firing angle of the SCR which in turns determine the current flowing to the armature or field.
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
