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.
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.
Higher SCR requires lower reactance that in practice means a larger air gap. [5]Both high and low levels of SCR have their benefits: [6] 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;
Comparison of an SCR and GTO of same rating Characteristic Description Thyristor (1600 V, 350 A) GTO (1600 V, 350 A) V T on: On-state voltage drop 1.5 V 3.4 V t on, I g on: Turn-on time, gate current 8 μs, 200 mA 2 μs, 2 A t off: Turn-off time 150 μs 15 μs
Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...
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.
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
This is useful when sudden turn-on in the middle of a sine-wave half-cycle could cause undesirable effects like high-frequency spikes, for which the circuit or the environment is not expected to handle gracefully. The point where the AC line voltage is zero is the zero cross point. When a TRIAC is connected in its simplest form, it can clip the ...
