If latching current of an SCR is 10 mA then its holding current should be ____________(a) 5 mA(b) 7 mA(c) 8 mA(d) 4 mAI have been asked this question in my homework.My doubt is from Solid-State Devices topic in division Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) 5 mA

The BEST I can explain: The latching CURRENT is 2-3 times more than the HOLDING current. If a latching current of an SCR is 10 mA then its holding current should be 5 mA. Holding current=(latching current)÷2=10÷2=5 mA.
