Overview
This experiment demonstrates the use of a Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) for controlling AC loads.
Components Required
- Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR)
- Resistors
- AC Power Supply
- Load (e.g., lamp)
- Triggering Circuit
- Breadboard and wires
Procedure
1. Connect the SCR in series with the load and AC power supply.
2. Use a triggering circuit to control the turn-on and turn-off of the SCR based on the AC waveform.
Expected Result
The SCR will switch the load on and off at the desired point in the AC cycle.
