Silicon controlled rectifier
 A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor
controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid-state
current-controlling device. The name "silicon
controlled rectifier" is General Electric's trade
name for a type of thyristor.
SCR Applications
 Due to the wide variety of advantages, like ability to turn ON from
OFF state in response to a low gate current and also able to switch
high voltages, makes the SCR or thyristor to be used in a variety of
applications.
 These applications include switching, rectification, regulation,
protection, etc. The SCRs are used for home appliance control
include lighting, temperature control, fan speed regulation, heating,
and alarm activation.
 For industrial applications, SCRs are used to control the motor
speed, battery charging and power conversions. Some of them are
explained below.
