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.


Is there a switch that can make current rapidly stop and go?

Yes, it is an electronic switch know as a triggered SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)


What are the advantages of a silicon-controlled rectifier?

SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER APPLICATIONS i) Speed control for motors ii) Temperature control for electric hot plate iii) Dimmer switch for domestic lighting iv) Dimmer control for stage lighting.


What is semi controlled switch?

A switch that is controlled by other electrical components.


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.


The conclusion of a silicon controlled rectifier?

conclusion of silicon control rectifier


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.


Why Silicon Controlled Rectifier is called current controlled device?

Because it is controlled by the gate current


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


When an scr turns on it acts like a?

An SCR, a silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. When it turns on it acts like an electronic switch and rectifier.


Why it is named silicon controlled rectifier?

Why germanium controlled rectifiers are not used instead of silicon controlled rectifiers?

The first solid state four layer thyristors made were indeed made of germanium and therefor could be called "germanium controlled rectifiers" (although this name was never used in the literature, they were just called thyristors). But when it became practical in the early 1960s to make solid state devices using silicon, the higher operating junction temperature and the ability to self passivate junctions in silicon devices soon made germanium devices obsolete especially for high power applications (which include many of the applications of solid state four layer thyristors).The term thyristor was coined originally for these devices as they were seen as a solid state version of the gas filled thyratron tube. The idea of calling them "controlled rectifiers" only came years later when silicon had replaced germanium for most purposes in solid state devices.
