What is Thyristor? Working, Symbol, Construction, Types, Operation, Protection and Applications

Let’s understand working of thyristor by construction and explore some of its applications. Thyristor Definition: Also known as Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), The Thyristor is a three-terminal, four-layer semiconductor device primarily used for high-power control and converting AC current into DC. It is typically used for high-power applications and is capable of switching large amounts […]

VI Characteristics of SCR – Silicon Controlled Rectifier

The VI characteristics of SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) is a graph of anode current Ia on the y-axis and anode to cathode voltage on the x-axis as shown in the graph. It describes the relationship between the voltage across the device and the current flowing through it. The characteristics in the reverse direction (anode to cathode […]
