Chopper circuits need to turn the signal on and off. An SCR would not work in this case as, once it is turned on, it will not turn off until it is reverse biased.

Why are SCRs connected in series?

they are not always connected in series, yes most are for circuit amplification purposes, but some SCR's are just used as an electronic switch by themselves. An example is copier circuits, they use alot of them in single use applications.


Is Four pairs of SCRs are equivalent to a DIAC?

Four pairs of SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) can be configured to function similarly to a DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current) in terms of their ability to conduct current when a certain threshold voltage is reached. However, while a DIAC is a specific device designed for triggering in AC applications, SCRs are more versatile and typically used in DC applications or as controlled switches in AC circuits. The primary difference lies in their operational characteristics; DIACs switch on and off based on voltage, while SCRs require a gate signal to trigger. Thus, while they can achieve similar functionality, they are not directly equivalent.


Does an SCR work on DC or ac?

SCR's are mainly used in AC circuits. They could be used in DC circuits but they then would not be able to turn off. They require the zero crossing of the AC circuit to turn off. Then when positively biased they can be turned back on.

How is a TRIAC equivalent to two anti-parallel SCRs?

A TRIAC is equivalent to two anti-parallel SCRs because it conduct in both directs when triggered allowing AC switching with a single gate control.
