Difference Between SCR, DIAC and TRIAC

In power electronics, the SCR, DIAC, and TRIAC are three common semiconductor devices that are very useful in electric power control and conversion applications. Though they all belong to the thyristor family, their operation, structure, and applications differ significantly. Here’s a detailed explanation of SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current), and TRIAC […]

TRIAC Full Form, Symbol, Working, VI Characteristic & Application

The full form of TRIAC is Triode for Alternating Current. Let’s discuss working of Triac with vi characteristics and Applications. A Triac is a bidirectional device it allows current to flow in both the directions. It is also known as a bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor. In the SCR family, after the SCR, […]
