How an SCR works?-Principle of Operation SCR Working Principle The SCR is a four-layer‚ three-junction and a three-terminal device and is shown in fig.a. The end P-region is the anode‚ the end N-region is the cathode and the inner P-region is the gate. The anode to cathode is connected in series with the load circuit. Essentially the device is a switch. Ideally it remains off (voltage blocking state)‚ or appears to have an infinite impedance until both the anode and gate terminals have suitable

sources of energy‚ like coal‚ natural gas‚ oil‚ nuclear power and other natural sources‚ which are called primary sources. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical energy) that turned water wheels to perform work. Before electricity generation began slightly over 100 years ago‚ houses were lit with kerosene lamps‚ food was cooled in iceboxes‚ and rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. Beginning with Benjamin Franklin’s experiment with a kite
