Practical Uses Controlled Fulled-Wave Rectifier
Major considerations when ordering a SCR are: • (a) Peak forward and reverse breakdown voltages(b) Maximum forward current(c) Gate trigger voltage and current(d) Minimum holding current,Ih(e) Power dissipation
Advantages • Drive Very High Currents by applying only a small current in the circuit. • Example • Remote Control • Fastter Response Than Any Other Semiconductor
