Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) Working, Construction, Types and Applications

construction of silicon controlled rectifier

The silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a semiconductor device used to convert alternating current into direct current and control the power supplied to the load. It is an enhanced version of the shockley diode, achieved by adding a gate to the device. The SCR was developed in 1957 by power electronics engineers. Some consider the … Read more
