Advantages and disadvantages of TRIAC

There are some advantages of TRIAC which are given below, The TRIAC need single fuse for protection. It can be triggered with positive or negative polarities of gate pulses. A safe breakdown in either direction is possible

Difference between SCR and TRIAC

Following are main difference between SCR (Silicon controlled rectifier)and TRIAC (Triode for alternating current) : SCR TRIAC SCR stands for silicon controlled rectifier. TRIAC stands for triode for alternating current. The SCR is unidirectional device. The TRIAC is

Application of silicon control rectifier (SCR)

There are some important applications of silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) which are given below, The silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is used in AC voltage stabilizers. The silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is used as switch. It is used

Construction of silicon controller rectifier (SCR)

The basic construction of silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is shown in above fig. It is made up of silicon and its operation as a rectifier can be controlled, hence the name given as silicon controlled rectifier. The
