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
State two advantages of a triac as compared to an SCR?
triac act as a ac contactor
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.
How do I use two SCR as one Triac?
To use two SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) as one TRIAC, connect them in an anti-parallel configuration. The anode of one SCR connects to the cathode of the other, and each SCR's gate is triggered to control the conduction. When a positive gate signal is applied to one SCR, it turns on, allowing current to flow in one direction, while a signal to the other SCR allows current to flow in the opposite direction. This setup effectively simulates the bidirectional conduction characteristic of a TRIAC.
What is the name of the scr or triac triggering system that triggers the output device at the same point on each ac cycle?
Diac

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 a diode controllable?
The SCR and TRIAC are essentially controlled diodes.
Can SCR be replaced by TRIAC?
Yes since the SCRs act as the real thyristors

What is the major disadvantage of a free-running oscillator used to trigger an SCR or TRIAC?
One major disadvantage of a free-running oscillator is that it may not synchronize properly with the AC line frequency, causing timing errors and potential malfunction of the SCR or TRIAC. This can lead to inefficiencies and erratic behavior in the circuit.

Diac
Why antiparallel SCR are preferred over TRIAC?
For power control of inductive load.They can be successfully used for resistive load as well.
What is LED characteristics curve?
A: Any device whether it be diode, led, scr, triac and so forth has characteristic of current/voltage behaviour as these I/v are varied
