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 […]
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, […]
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is one of the oldest four-layer solid-state power device it was invented in 1957. SCR has the highest power handling capacity in comparison with other semiconductor devices. It has three terminals namely anode, cathode, and gate
