What else can I help you with?
How do you calculate holding current of scr when latching current is given?
we know that ratio of holding current to latching current in scr is 0.4.
What is holding current of SCR?
It is a current
Is scr current controlled device?
yes it is current controlled
Contrast the scr and the triac?
Essentially an Scr is a solid state switch that will only allow current to flow in one direction. A triac is essentially two scr's in Anti- parallel that allows current to pass in both directions.
Is SCR the unipolar device?
SCR is bipolar device since current is due to both electrons as well as holes.
How do you calculate holding current of scr when latching current is given?

Why latching current is more than holding current in thyristor?
Holding current is a kind of Imin i.e., a minimum rating current which should not be decreased less than this limit so that SCR will be off(Maximum limit).Whereas latching current is again a limit which is Imini.e., a minimum current that should be there to make it on(Minimum limit).So obviously Holding current is more than latching current.If u still have the confusion go through the link below ALi RAZA
What is holding current of SCR?
It is a current
What happened after triggering an SCR the gate pulse is removed the current in the SCR will?
After triggering an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) and removing the gate pulse, the SCR will continue to conduct current as long as the anode current remains above the holding current threshold. Once the current falls below this threshold, the SCR will turn off and stop conducting. This characteristic allows the SCR to be used in various applications, such as in power control and switching circuits.
What is the ratio of latching current to holding current?
Latching current is the current flowing between anode to Cathode when thyristor is turned on using gate pulse. If the gate pulse is removed before the required min amount of latching current value is not reached thyristor will turn off. To keep the thyristor in on state the gate pulse duration should be so adjusted that the min latching current value is reached before it ends.
Can a diac trigger scr?
No, a Diac cannot trigger an SCR because when the Diac turns ON, the current through the Diac is around 9 mA. The gate threshold current of an SCR is typically 5 mA, which is less. So the SCR can get damaged due to this high gate current.
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.
Does the ratio of latching current to holding current depends upon gate current?
yes
Is scr current controlled device?
yes it is current controlled
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
Is a SCR a voltage rating device or a current rating device?
A SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is typically a current rating device. It is important to consider the maximum rated current when selecting an SCR for a specific application to ensure proper functioning and safety.
Is scr is high current rating?
yes
