SCR Full form of Silicon controlled rectifier.

Answer / vinee

A SCR is a unidirectional device that is applicable in high and medium power applications. It has 4 layers and 3 junctions. A positive gate pulse across gate and cathode turned it on. UJT is used for triggering.

Whereas a TRIAC is a bidirectional device that can be tuned on by applying both positive and negative gate pulses. It is more sensitive than an scr. It is also a 4 layer 3 junction device. DIAC is used for triggering..

They both can be used as lamp dinmers , heat control, speed control of induction motors according to their need.

Answer / engr. asad ali

SCR
It is four layered, three terminal semiconductor device.
The current is unidirectional, flowing only from cathode to anode.
Positive voltage is applied to gate to turn on.
A SCR can be turn off by rvercing current or reduce the voltage of anode below threshold value.
It conduct dc only.

Triac
It consist of two scr connected in opposite directions.
It has two main terminals (i.e 1 and 2) and a gate.
It operate on ac.
it can be turn off as SCR.

I have a transformer 3phase 11kv/410v and its name plate missing. now how can I judge its rated kva?

We have 11kV/110V three phase indoor potential transformer in 66/11kV Sub-station, where the failure of PT is frequently happening and the rating of the PT is 0.2 class accuracy, with primary star and seconday (two cores) star connected. Some experts has suggested to not to connect the PT Primary neutral to the ground because when transformer neutal NCT connection is loose; the faulty current will flow through the PT primary neutral, resulting into failure of PT. My question is: Is it necessary to remove the primary neutral connection of the PT from ground? if not, what would be the reason for failure of PT. Please guide me.
