How to test the thyresitor or SCR by multmeter?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / a.p
the thyristor will conduct in the forward direction and in
the reverse direction, it will show reverse recovery
voltage, thus a high resistance. Or we may put a diode in
parellel with the thyristor. The current gets diveded when
the thyristor is conducting. Else all the current flows
through the diode alone. In this way the thyristor could be
checkd.

u can not test by ohmic value. u can test by bulb ,put in a
series. then u can test.sometimes ohmic value is worng.

Answer / engineering.force
initially increase the voltage across the anode-cathode
terminals of the thyristor. and note the value of current.
the current will be zero when scr is not fired. after a
certain value of voltage it will start conducting, the
current through the scr will start to increase and, the
voltage across the scr will drop near to zero.

Peak Electronics make a handy Thyristor and Triac tester
it has 3 leads with croc clips you dont even have to connect it a certain way.. it will analyse and display which colour lead is connected to what terminal eg Red lead = Cathode, Blue lead = anode, Green lead = gate and it will also tell you if the Thyristor/Triac is working correctly.
Usually when triacs/thyristors fail, they fail short circuit

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
if there are six generators (3 gas CATT, one Jenbacher o1 MW each, and two nos Diesel 01 no 01 mw other 0.65mw EDGs ( say), 3 CAtt gas set have identical pole pitch,01mw EDG and Jenbacher gas Set have different pole pitch, how their power connection can be done to connect a common bus bar during installation. in short, how different pole pitched generators power connection can be done to connect a common busbar system through generators incomer ACBs.
