The turn on time of an SCR with inductive load is 20 µs. The pulse train frequency is 2.5 KHz with a mark/space ratio of 1/10, and then SCR will ______(a) Turn On(b) Not turn on(c) Turn on if inductance is removed.(d) Turn on if pulse frequency is increased to two timesI got this question in a job interview.This intriguing question originated from Power BJTs topic in division Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) Turn On

To elaborate: Pulse repetition rate (PRR) = 1/(2.5 – 10^3) = 0.4 ms = 400 µs.

Mark/space RATIO = 1/10.

Pulse width = 400/11 = 36.4 µs.

The SCR will ‘turn on’ as the pulse width is greater than SCR turn on time.
