SCR Thyristor

How the turn on time of SCR is reduced what is the effect of connecting R or L in series as load?

When you try to trigger the SCR for a shorter time, you have better result at the input. The effect: energy loss and slightly different trigger moment. The L (coil) will create a reverse voltage too, that in the worst scenario can destroy the SCR, when not designed for that voltage.

I think a coil (L inductance) at the input will not destroy the SCR at turn off ,but if a high spike is induced it extends its turn off time slightly with no harm.

input is not the load, bur output

Hi

On-off time of any swithching device can not be reduced or increase although there may be delayed turn on or turn off due to inductance in load as well as stray inductance,

switching timings are besically specified by the manufacturer with specific tolerances for any load conditions,

In absence of inductance in load, switching timings changes drastically.

By the way, if we have H-bridge, what would be better:

Use 4 SCRs or 4 FETs ???

Thanks for your comments in advance
