DV/DT Limitation of SCRs Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-EELE-10417
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the DV/DT Limitation of SCRs (Product ID: 10417) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It is a trainer that shows how a fast-rising anode voltage (dv/dt) can turn on an SCR without a gate pulse, and how snubbers prevent it.
Quick Answer
A thyristor switch applies a sudden voltage from the built-in 300 V DC, 250 mA supply across the SCR under test, and a visual indicator shows whether it fires. The rising voltage drives a charging current through the SCR junction capacitance (i = C dv/dt); if that current is large enough the device turns on falsely. Students compare a gate-cathode termination resistor, two R-C snubber schemes and a transistorised snubber. The unit runs on 230 V ±10%, 50 Hz, weighs about 3 kg and measures 340 x 110 x 210 mm; patch cords and operating instructions are supplied.
