What is the basic function of the SCR's gate electrode?

The SCR's gate electrode is used to turn the SCR on, i.e. fire it.


What is class A commutation of thyristor?

it is one of method to turn off scr. resonating LC component is used to turn off scr


Where does a SCR differ from a power transistor in operation?

thyristor can be scr or triac scr is strictly dc a triac is back to back scr's with a common gate two scr's back to back can be gated independently scrs cost less than triacs an scr can be combined with a full wave bridge to make an equivalent to a triac but this gives an additional 1.5V forward voltage drop


How can an SCR be made to conduct?

An SCR has three legs. The anode, cathode, and gate. The control voltage sent to the gate will allow the SCR to conduct.


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

Is SCR is a switch?

I's a electronic component that act like a controlled diode. It can be used as a switch on some applications, but with some limits. 1- A SCR is a diode, and as such, it only conduct in one direction. 2-The SCR only turn off when the current passing it reaches zero.
