How do you explain natural and force commutation of SCR with ckt. drg. in detail?
I need some help understanding natural and force commutation of SCR with circuit diagrams. Can you explain it to me in detail?
Sure, I'd be happy to help. In an SCR circuit, commutation is the process of turning off the SCR after it has conducted current. Natural commutation occurs when the current flowing through the SCR falls below its holding current, which is the minimum current required to maintain conduction. At that point, the SCR will turn off by itself. Force commutation, on the other hand, requires a separate circuit to turn off the SCR by applying a reverse-bias voltage. Would you like more details on how these processes work with circuit diagrams?
