Objectives:
Unit 1 Lab Assignment 2
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) Operation
1. To verify the operation of SCR using DC triggering.
2. To demonstrate the phase control operation of SCR using AC triggering.
Procedures:
1. Research the datasheet of 2N1599 SCR and fill the following table 1 at 25°C.
Parameter
IT(RMS) Forward current RMS
IH - Holding current
VDRM-Peak forward blocking voltage
IGT -Gate trigger current (typical)
IDRM - Peak forward blocking current
VTM - Forward on voltage (typical)

simulation until you complete table 2.
4. Measure the voltage at the gate terminal and record the measured value in the first row
of the table 2 under gate voltage.
5. Measure the voltage between anode and cathode of the SCR and record the measured
value in the first row of the table 2 under SCR voltage.
6. Indicate the condition of the SCR whether it is on or off based on the lamp condition.
7. Change the position of the switch in the order as indicated in table 2 below and repeat
steps 4 through 6.

2. Turn the potentiometer (R2) to 0%, which represents the firing angle to be approximately 180º.
Then Run the simulation.
a. Since the firing angle is 180º, no power delivered to the lamp and it should be off.
3. The signals on the oscilloscope should be as shown below. Blue one across SCR & Red one across
lamp (separate both signals so you can see them clearly).

Introduction:
Procedure:
Analysis &
Results:
A brief description of the
experiment. The abstract should
not exceed four or five sentences.
In your own words, motivate the
experiment and give a concise
summary of the theory involved,
including any mathematical detail
relevant to later discussion in the
report.
List and describe the steps for the
practical lab. A schematic of the
experimental setup is also
required.
This section should include all raw
data collected, e.g., voltage and
current readings. All results are to
be presented in both tabular and
graphical form. All tables must
have titles and all figures must
have brief captions. Clearly show
your analysis steps and any
calculations used leading to your Analysis &

conducted. Important points to
include are a brief discussion of
your final results, an
interpretation of the actual
experimental results as they apply
to the objectives of the
experiment set out in the
introduction should be given. Also
discuss any problems encountered
and how they were resolved.
