🔍 Key Concepts

• Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) basic function in power electronics • How SCRs control DC motor speed and torque (rectification and voltage control) • How AC motors are typically controlled (frequency vs. voltage control)

💭 Think About

• Think about what an SCR actually does to an electrical waveform: does it change frequency, voltage, or both? • For a DC propulsion motor, what type of current and control method are needed, and can an SCR provide that? • For an AC propulsion motor, what is usually varied to control speed, and is that something an SCR alone is designed to handle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what kind of control an SCR provides on an AC supply feeding a DC motor (hint: phase-controlled rectifier). • Consider whether changing the frequency of AC (needed for AC motor speed control) is something an SCR by itself is designed to do. • Be clear on the difference between controlling voltage to a DC motor and controlling frequency to an AC motor before choosing.
