Question:
The ratio of latching current to holding current of SCR
The ratio of latching current to holding current of SCR
Show Hint
SCRs: \( I_L>I_H \), so their ratio is always more than one.
Updated On: May 23, 2025
- is always more than one
- always depends on gate current
- is always less than one
- is always equal to one
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
For SCRs:
- Latching Current is the minimum current to turn it ON.
- Holding Current is the minimum current to keep it ON. \[ I_L>I_H \Rightarrow \frac{I_L}{I_H}>1 \]
- Latching Current is the minimum current to turn it ON.
- Holding Current is the minimum current to keep it ON. \[ I_L>I_H \Rightarrow \frac{I_L}{I_H}>1 \]
