the big advantage is they are very low cost

the big disadvantage is they can't be turned OFF

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.


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 scr is called silicon controlled rectifier even their is no rectification process?

The term "silicon controlled rectifier" (SCR) arises from its function in controlling current flow rather than performing traditional rectification. While the SCR does not rectify in the conventional sense, it can be used in circuits that control the flow of AC or DC power, effectively acting as a switch. The "rectifier" part of the name reflects its ability to handle and control high power loads, similar to how rectifiers manage current direction in AC systems. Thus, it is more about its application in power control than a strict rectification process.
