Thyristors - SCRs

A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is a type of thyristor, a four-layer semiconductor device with three terminals, and is widely used in the power control systems. It was first introduced by the General Electric Company in 1957 and developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A SCR is often used in applications like AC power control, speed control, and other applications where fast switching and high current carrying capability are required. It is also used in sensing applications to detect overvoltages, undervoltages, or changes in the power system.

The SCR is made from silicon and germanium, which results in its unique electrical properties. The major advantage of the SCR is its ability to control large amounts of power, up to 1000 A and up to 6000 V. This makes them extremely popular for industrial applications like motor control and welding. Another advantage of the SCR is that it is a unidirectional voltage device, meaning that the voltage is only able to flow in one direction and the power is only able to flow into the device, not out of it.

The SCR can be controlled by a variety of triggering signals, such as positive or negative current, or positive or negative voltage. It can also be triggered by a gate signal, which is why they are sometimes referred to as gate-controlled devices. The triggering signal is used to turn the SCR on and off. Once it has been turned on, it will remain on until the current needs to be shut off, when the control signal is reversed.

The SCR can also be used as a switch for AC power, by sensing the AC signal and turning on the SCR when a certain threshold is met. This effect is often used in speed controller applications, by controlling the SCR on and off with the signal, resulting in a smooth change of speed.

The SCR can also be used in sensing applications, such as over, under, and change of state sensing. This is accomplished by using an SCR as a switch in the power circuit and monitoring the voltage or current levels. The SCR can be triggered by a current or voltage signal, so that when the signal reaches a certain level, the SCR is triggered on, resulting in a change of state, or triggering an alarm.

The SCR can also be used in switching applications, such as motor control and welding. The SCR is used to
