5 Questions
What are the two conditions that must be met before the SCR can conduct in a half-wave rectifier?
The SCR must be forward-biased and a current must be applied to the gate
What is the purpose of using an SCR instead of a diode in a half-wave rectifier?
To control the output
When does conduction begin in an SCR in a half-wave rectifier?
When the SCR is forward-biased and a gate current is applied
What is the function of the gate current in an SCR in a half-wave rectifier?
To trigger conduction
How does using an SCR affect the output of a half-wave rectifier?
It allows for control of the output
