 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR POWER
ELECTRONICS AND SIMULATION
LABORATORY

You must not damage or tamper with the equipment or leads.

You should inspect laboratory equipment for visible damage before using it.
If there is a problem with a piece of equipment, report it to the technician or
lecturer. DONOT return equipment to a storage area
You should not work on circuits where the supply voltage exceeds 40 volts
without very specific approval from your lab supervisor. If you need to work
on such circuits, you should contact your supervisor for approval and
instruction on how to do this safely before commencing the work.
Always use an appropriate stand for holding your soldering iron.
Turn off your soldering iron if it is unlikely to be used for more than 10 minutes.
Never leave a hot soldering iron unattended.
Never touch a soldering iron element or bit unless the iron has been
disconnected from the mains and has had adequate time to cool down.
Never strip insulation from a wire with your teeth or a knife, always use
an appropriate wire stripping tool.
Shield wire with your hands when cutting it with a pliers to prevent bits of
wire flying about the bench.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Study of Characteristics of SCR

PROCEDURE:
V - I CHARACTERISTICS:
1. Make all connections as per the circuit diagram.

2. Initially keep VG & VA at minimum position and R1 & R2 maximum position.

3. Adjust Gate current Ig to some constant by varying the VG or RG.

4. Now slowly vary VAand observe Anode to Cathode voltage VAK and Anode current IA.

5. Tabulate the readings of Anode to Cathode voltage VAK and Anode current IA.

6. Repeat the above procedure for different Gate current Ig.

GATE TRIGGRING AND FINDING VG AND IG:-

1. Keep all positions at minimum.

2. Set Anode to Cathode voltage VAK to some volts say 15V.

3. Now slowly vary the VG voltage till the SCR triggers and note down the
reading of gate current(IG) and Gate Cathode voltage(VGK) and rise of anode
current IA.

4. Repeat the same for different Anode to Cathode voltage and find VAK and IG
values.
TO FIND LATCHING CURRENT:

1. Keep R2 at middle position.

2. Apply 20V to the Anode to cathode by varying V2.

3. Raise the Vg voltage by varying VG till the device turns ON indicated by sudden
rise in IA. At what current SCR trigger it is the minimum gate current required
to turn ON the SCR.
4. Now set RA at maximum position, then SCR turns OFF, if it is not turned off reduce
VA up to turn off the device and put the gate voltage.

5. Now decrease the RA slowly, to increase the Anode current gradually in steps.
6. At each and every step, put OFF and ON the gate voltage switches VG. If the
Anode current is greater than the latching current of the device, the device says
ON even after switch OFF S1, otherwise device goes to blocking mode as soon
as the gate switch is put OFF.
7. If IA>IL then, the device remains in ON state and note that anode current as latching
current.
8. Take small steps to get accurate latching current value.

TO FIND HOLDING CURRENT:

1. Now increase load current from latching current level by varying RA & VA.

2. Switch OFF the gate voltage switch S1 permanently (now the device is in ON state).

3. Now increase load resistance(R2), so that anode current reducing, at some

anode current the device goes to turn off .Note that anode current as holding
current.
4. Take small steps to get accurate holding current value.

5. Observe that IH<IL.
