  2. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    A simple SCR circuit with a resistive load. A simple SCR circuit can be illustrated using an AC voltage source connected to a SCR with a resistive load. Without an applied current pulse to the gate of the SCR, the SCR is left in its forward blocking state. This makes the start of conduction of the SCR controllable.

  3. Short circuit ratio (synchronous generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

    low SCR: in case of a short circuit, the current is proportional to SCR, therefore generators with low SCR require less protection and thus are cheaper; low SCR allows shorter air gap and lower excitation field, both decreasing the size (an cost) of the generator; with low SCR the amounts of iron and copper are reduced, lowering the cost; high SCR:

  4. Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio...

    The short circuit ratio (SCR) is an indicator of the strength of a network bus about the rated power of a device and is frequently used as a measure of system strength. A higher SCR value indicates a stronger system, meaning that the impact of disturbances on voltage and other variables will be minimized.

  5. Power semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_semiconductor_device

    Like an SCR, when a voltage pulse is present on the gate terminal, the device turns on. The main difference between an SCR and a Triac is that both the positive and negative cycle can be turned on independently of each other, using a positive or negative gate pulse. Similar to an SCR, once the device is turned on, the device cannot be turned off.

  6. Phase-fired controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-fired_controller

    Rectified voltage regulated by phase control Unrectified AC voltage regulated by phase control. Phase-fired control (PFC), also called phase cutting or phase-angle control, is a method for power limiting, applied to AC voltages. [1]

  7. List of free electronics circuit simulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_electronics...

    List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE. The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.

  8. Latch-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latch-up

    In electronics, a latch-up is a type of short circuit which can occur in an integrated circuit (IC). More specifically, it is the inadvertent creation of a low-impedance path between the power supply rails of a MOSFET circuit, triggering a parasitic structure which disrupts proper functioning of the part, possibly even leading to its destruction due to overcurrent.

  9. Short circuit ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit_ratio

    Short circuit ratio (or SCR) has multiple meanings: Short circuit ratio (synchronous generator) , a value used to characterize the stability of an electromechanical generator Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) , a metric to characterize the grid strength ("stiffness").
