PROTECTION OF SCR
MODULE 2.3
PROTECTION OF SCR
• OVERVOLTAGE
• OVERCURRENT
• Dv/dt Protection of SCR
• Di/dt Protection of SCR
• HEATSINK
dv/dt Protection of SCR
• When the SCR is forward biased, junctions J1 and J3
forward biased and junction J2 is reverse biased. This
reverse biased junction J2 exhibits the characteristics
of a capacitor. Therefore, if the rate of forward voltage
applied is very high across the SCR, charging current
flows through the junction J2 is high enough to turn ON
the SCR even without any gate signal.This is called as
dv/dt triggering of the SCR which is generally not
employed as it is false triggering process.
• Hence, the rate of rise of anode to cathode voltage,
dv/dt must be in specified limit to protect the SCR
against false triggering. This can be achieved by using
RC snubber network across the SCR.

Heatsink
• Heatsink Requirements
• SCR's emit about 1.5 watt's of energy in the form of heat, per ampere
conducted. Failure to dissipate this energy is perhaps one of the main
sources of SCR failure. ... Typically an aluminium heatsink, with fins to
increase the surface area, is used to dissipate this energy to air.

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. After consulting a variety of sources, you will need to narrow your topic. For example, the topic of internet safety is huge, but you could narrow that topic to include internet safety in regards to social media apps that teenagers are using heavily. A topic like that is more specific and will be relevant to your peers. Some questions to think about to help you narrow your topic: What topics of the research interest me the most? What topics of the research will interest my audience the most? What topics will the audience find more engaging? Shocking? Inspiring?
  2. After you’ve done your research, it’s time to put your presentation together. The first step in the process is to introduce the topic. This is a great time to connect your topic to something that your audience can relate. In other words, why should they listen to all the information you will be sharing in your research presentation? What is in it for them? You may also want to include a graphic or image to grab their attention. Feel free to duplicate this slide by right-clicking on this slide in the slides pane to the left and select Duplicate Slide. The next step in your presentation is to state your claim or topic clearly. Your teacher may even call this your thesis. As you state your thesis, you may find that this layout is not the best layout for your claim or topic. You can change the layout by clicking the drop-down menu next to the Layout in the Slides menu section. You can choose Two Content, Comparison, or Picture with Caption. Note: A different layout might change the look of the icons on this page. You will also want to state your facts. You have done the research now share some of the interesting facts with your audience. Facts do not have to be boring; you can communicate facts in a variety of ways by going to the Insert Tab. In the Insert tab you can: Insert pictures from your computer or online. Add a chart Create some SmartArt Insert a variety of icons to help your facts come to life. Note: You can change the color of the icons by selecting the icon and then click on the Format tab and then Graphics Fill. From there, you will choose a color from the list or choose More Fill Colors to give you more options. Since this research presentation is a result of your hard work and searching, you want to make sure you support the claims or points in your presentation with facts from your research findings. Make sure you give the author proper credit for helping you share your ideas. If one of your sources has a video that is relevant to your topic, you can add the video as added support. Keep in mind the length of the video and the amount of time you have for your presentation. For a 5 minute speech, the video should be no longer than 30 seconds. Questions to consider: How will you state the author of the source? Will you need to cite the source on the slide? What are some ways you can engage your audience so they feel like they are a part of the presentation? Some ideas to consider is by taking a quick poll like: by a show of hands, how many of you think school uniforms are a way to cut down on bullying? Another suggestion is to have them hold up a certain number of fingers to see if they agree or disagree. Finally, you can share a story that the audience can relate to that makes them laugh. After all the applause, your audience may have some questions. Be prepared to answer some of their questions by making a list of questions you think they might ask. You may also want to share the presentation with them by providing the link to your presentation, if they want more information.
  3. You can use this slide as your opening or closing slide. Should you choose to use it as a closing, make sure you review the main points of your presentation. One creative way to do that is by adding animations to the various graphics on a slide. This slide has 4 different graphics, and, when you view the slideshow, you will see that you can click to reveal the next graphic. Similarly, as you review the main topics in your presentation, you may want each point to show up when you are addressing that topic. Add animation to images and graphics: Select your image or graphic. Click on the Animations tab. Choose from the options. The animation for this slide is “Split”. The drop-down menu in the Animation section gives even more animations you can use. If you have multiple graphics or images, you will see a number appear next to it that notes the order of the animations. Note: You will want to choose the animations carefully. You do not want to make your audience dizzy from your presentation.
