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) Table 1: Specifications of EC103D1 SCR Part I: SCR Operation – DC Triggering Value 2.

Connect the gate switch (S1) to R2, and then run the simulation. Do not stop the 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.

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).

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 & Results: Conclusion: 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.
