Turn on Methods
of SCR
Class:- EE3I
Date:-
28/09/2020
Process of turning on SCR is also called as
Triggering of SCR or Firing of SCR
• Forward Voltage Triggering
• Gate Triggering
• dv/dt Triggering
• Temperature Triggering
• Light Triggering
Turn on Methods of SCR are as follows

Turn on Methods
of SCR
Class:- EE3I
Date:-
28/09/2020
1. Forward Voltage Triggering
In this method Gate current IG=0 , Anode is
at positive potential w.r.t. cathode , If anode
voltage is increased to break over voltage VBO
,
 SCR turns into On condition. This method is
called as Forward Voltage Triggering. In actual
practice this method is not used as it requires
large anode to cathode voltage and also large
current Generation occurs.
 It may cause damage to the thyristor. In
this method avalanche breakdown occurs

2. Gate Triggering
Gate Triggering is a simple reliable and
efficient method. At a desired moment of
turn- On suitable positive voltage is applied to
Gate terminal. This result in gate current. As
the value of Gate Current (IG ) increases
required anode to cathode Voltage decreases.
 Gate current of magnitude 20mA to 200mA
is applied.

Class:- EE3I
Date:-
28/09/2020
3. dv/dt Triggering
When anode to cathode voltage is positive
outer junction J1 and J3 get forward biased
and inner junction J2 reverse biased Junction
behaves as a Capacitor
Charging Current of Capacitor depends upon rate
of rise of forward Voltage
 If forward Voltage is suddenly applied then
Charging current would be large. Due to this
phenomenon SCR enters into Turn On state.
However this dv/dt turn On has to be avoided
Rate of change of applied voltage is kept below the
specified rate.

4. Light Triggering
 Light can be used to turn On SCR
by causing Breakdown of the junction
J2 with junction J1 and J3 forward
Biased
 In Light triggered SCR gate
region is made up of Light sensitive
material, When a ray of light of
suitable intensity and wavelength is
incident on the Gate junction of SCR
Gate current increases it makes
forward bias SCR to enter into On state

4. Thermal Triggering
 Width of depletion layer of SCR
decreases with increase in junction
temperature
 Therefore in SCR when anode
voltage is nearer to breakdown voltage
device is triggered by increasing
junction temperature
 By increasing junction temperature
reverse bias junction collapses thus
device starts to conduct.

Turn OFF Methods
of SCR
Class:- EE3I
Date:-
28/09/2020
 Transition of SCR from On state to Off state is called as
Turn off method of SCR
 Process of turning off SCR is also called as Commutation
of SCR
 Time required to turn SCR Off from On state is Called
as Turn off Time of SCR
SCR can be turned off / Commutation can be achieved by
1. Reducing current flowing through SCR below Holding current by
decreasing Forward Voltage
2. Reducing current flowing through SCR below Holding current by
increasing load impedance
3. By reverse voltage across SCR forcing zero current to flow
through SCR

off. SCR doesn’t turns off at its own.

load current.
 Here, initially capacitor C charges with upper plate positive, As soon as SCR is
turned on capacitor discharges through SCR and starts charging in opposite
direction
 Making upper plate of capacitor negative and lower plate positive, thus negative

 Here initially T1 is turned on thus capacitor C charges with polarity as upper
plate negative and lower plate positive.
 In order to turn off SCR T1, SCR T2 is turned ON thus voltage of Capacitor.

applied.

Inductive load
 Inductor doesn’t like change, in voltage (It opposes
Change).
 It tries to maintain same circuit condition.
 In case of controlled rectifier, Inductor reverses polarity
of voltage across it in order to maintain same circuit
conditions.
 When it reverses its polarity, It discharge the energy
stored in magnetic field. Because of that SCR remains in On state even
