 INTRODUCTION

Thyristor
SCR is the acronym of Silicon Controlled Rectifier, as the name suggests it’s a kind of
diode or a rectifying agent whose conduction or operation can be controlled through
an external trigger.
It means that this device will switch ON or OFF in response to an external small
signal or voltage, quite similar to a transistor, yet hugely different with its technical
characteristics.

SCR C106 pinouts:-

Looking at the figure we can see that a SCR has three leads which mat be identified as
follows:

Keeping the printed side of the device facing us,

The right end lead is called the “gate”.

The center lead is the “Anode”, and

The left end lead is the “Cathode”

SCR pinouts.

Connection of SCR
The gate is the trigger input of an SCR and requires a DC trigger with a voltage of around 2
volts, the DC should be ideally more than 10mA. This trigger is applied across the gate and
the ground of the circuit, meaning the positive of the DC goes to the gate and the negative
to the ground.

The conduction of voltage across the anode and the cathode is switched ON when the gate
trigger is applied and vice versa.

The extreme left lead or the cathode of an SCR should always be connected to the ground
of the triggering circuit, meaning the ground of the triggering circuit should be made
common by connecting to the SCR cathode or else the SCR will never respond to the applied
triggers.

pg. 15
The load is always connected across the anode and an AC supply voltage which may be
required for activating the load.

SCRs are specifically suited for switching AC loads or pulsed DC loads. Pure, or clean DC
loads will not work with SCRs, since the DC will cause a latching effect on the SCR and will
not allow to switch OFF even after the gate trigger is removed.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Emergency Lamp using SCR:-

This is a single-source emergency lamp design in which a 6 V battery is kept in a topped up
charged condition, so that the connected lamp can be seamlessly switched ON whenever a
power failure happens.

When power is available, a full wave rectified DC supply using D1, D2 reaches the connected
6 V lamp.

C1 is allowed to charge to a level that’s slightly lower than the difference between the peak
DC of the fully rectified supply and the voltage across R2, as determined by the supply input
and charge level of the 6 V battery.

pg. 17
Under any circumstances, the cathode potential level of the SCR is help higher than its
anode, and also gate to cathode voltage is held negative. This make sure that the SCR stays
in the non-conducting state.

The charging rate of the attached battery is determined by R1, and enabled through the
diode D1.

The charging is sustained only as long a D1 anode remains more positive than its cathode.

While the input power is present, the full wave rectified across the emergency lamp keeps it
switched ON.

During power failure situation, the capacitor C1 begins discharging through D1, R1, and R3,
until the point where the SCR1 cathode becomes less positive than its cathode.

Also, meanwhile the R2, R3, junction goes positive resulting in an increased gate to cathode
voltage for the SCR, turning it ON.

The SCR now fires and allows the battery to get connected with the lamp, instantly
illuminating it through battery power.

The lamp is allowed to stay in the illuminated state as if nothing had happened.When power
returns, the capacitors C1 is yet again recharged, causing the SCR to switch OFF, and
cutting off the battery power to the lamp, so that the lamp now illuminates through the
input DC supply.

SCR APPLICATIONS CIRCUIT:-

SCR are in the form of static switch, a phase-control network, SCR battery charger,
temperature controller, and a single source emergency light system.

PRECAUTIONS:-

 ENSURE PROPER CONNECTIONS.

 ENSURE THE POWER SUPPLY IS INITIALLY AT OFF CONDION WHEN AT NO
USE.

pg. 18
  FOLLOW SAFTEY PRACTICES.
 USE TOOLS SAFELY.

CONCLUSION:- IN THIS PROJECT WE LEARN HOW TO OPERATE SCR AND

ALSO THE PROPER WORKING OF EMERGENCY LIGHT SYSTEM.
