TESTING 
NOTE: 
Some  high  voltage SCWs, those 
that 
have more than 
a  1.5 
volt 
drop 
across  the  gate 
junction 
when  the 
SCR 
is 
conducting, cannot 
be 
adequately tested. 
Drawing  L 
of 
Figure  3  shows  the schematic  symbol 
for 
an 
SCR 
(silicon 
controlled 
rectifier). 
The 
following 
test 
will 
chack  the 
SCR 
to 
determine 
if it 
can 
be 
properly 
turned 
on 
and 
turned 
off. 
The 
following 
procedu 
re 
pertains 
to 
both 
in-circu 
it 
and 
out-of-circuit 
testing. 
If 
you 
do 
not 
obtain 
the 
proper results 
when 
an 
SCR 
is 
tested  in·<:ircuit,  remove 
it 
from 
the 
circuit 
and  repeat the tests. 
1.  
Be 
sure  the  ON-OFF  switch 
is 
in  the  OFF 
(out) 
position. 
2.  
Identify 
the leads 
of 
the 
SCR. 
3.  
Connect  the  gate 
(g) 
lead 
of 
the 
SCR 
to 
the  B 
connector (white) on 
the 
Tester. 
4.  
Connect 
the 
anode 
(a) 
lead 
of 
the 
SCR 
to 
the 
E 
connector (red)  on the Tester . 
5.  
Connect  the  cathode  (c) 
lead 
of 
the 
SCR 
to 
the  C 
connector (black) on 
the 
Tester. 
6.  
Press 
the 
TRANS 
switch.
