1. What is holding current in SCR? It is the minimum current required to hold the SCR in forward conduction state. When the forward current becomes less than holding current, SCR turns from forward conduction state to forward blocking state. 2. What is latching current in SCR? It is the minimum current required to latch(turn on) the SCR from forward blocking state to forward conduction state. 3. What are the different turn on methods of SCR? Forward voltage triggering Gate Triggering dv/dt triggering Temperature triggering Light triggering 4. What is snubber circuit? The snubber circuit is used for the dv/dt protection of the SCR. It is a series combination of a resistor and a capacitor in parallel with the SCR. 5. What is hard switching of the thyristor? When gate current is several times higher than the required gate current, the SCR is said to be hard fired. It reduces the turn ON time and enhances the di/dt capability. 6. What is firing...
