DATA SHEET:

PART I : TESTING A PUT WITH AN OHMMETER

Table 10.1: Ohmmeter Reading

Figure 10.1 Reading ( H or L)

Circuit (a)
Circuit (b)
Circuit (c)

FILL-IN QUESTION:

1. A PUT will have resistance before being triggered.

2. A PUT will have resistance after being triggered.

3. A PUT is being tested with an ohmmeter. When the clip lead on the gate is
removed, the meter indicates high resistance. This does not prove that the PUT is
defective, but that the of the meter is not sufficient to
produce necessary through the device.

FILL-IN QUESTIONS:

1. Before firing, the voltage from the anode of the PUT to ground is equal to
.

2. When the gate is made more negative, the PUT and IAK
.

3. Once the PUT is fired, the loses control and

continues to flow through the PUT.

4. When the PUT is conducting, VA is equal to V.

5. The PUT can be reset by reducing the current through it below its
.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS:

QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS:

1. Explain the difference between a UJT and a PUT.

2. Compare PUT structure to that of the SCR.

3. What does the term programmable mean as used in PUT?
