what is the difference SCR & TRIAC?..

Answer / akshay ghadge

SCR
1.SCR is a unidirectional device.
2.the gate current can be only positive.
3.SCR can operate in only one quadrent of v-i characteristics.
4.UJT is used for triggering SCR.

TRIAC

what is the difference SCR & TRIAC?..

Answer / balamurugan

The antiparallel scr is called thyristor,it cannot be used
in high power application,but the scr can be able to handle
large voltage and current....,thats why in
A.C/D.C,D.C/A.c,transmission line converter have S.C.R.

what is the difference SCR & TRIAC?..

Answer / m.b.parthasarathy

SCR is an unidirectional device and it allow current in one direction only. There by it is used in DC circuits mainly.

TRIAC is a bi-directional device and it allows current in both direction. Hence it is mainly used in AC circuits only.

what is the difference SCR & TRIAC?..

Answer / raj kumar

SCR is a Silicon Control Rectifier which contorl dc output
voltage of self this is Main Member OF Transistor
Family.SCR use in AC TO DC Conversion.

Anitpararel Connection of SCR know as TRIAC it use in AC
Power system for controlling.

what is the difference SCR & TRIAC?..

Answer / akib shaikh

1) In SCR gate current is positive and in Triac gate current is positive or negative.
2) in SCR UJT as triggering device and in triac DIAC is a triggering device.
3) SCR is a unidirectional device and triac is a bidirectional device.
