A conventional diode placed in a circuit allows the passage of current in one direction
only. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) operates slightly differently. How does it work?

,A. an SCR conducts current in both directions until turned on and current flow is then
prevented
B. an SCR is non-conductive until turned onland then allows current to flow in both
directions
C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned on, allowing current to flow in one direction
only until the flow of current stops

until turned off - ANSWER-C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned on, allowing current
to flow in one direction only until the flow of current stops

B. a third transformer is added to the output circuit to filter out instability
C. a capacitor or capacitor bank is added to the output circuit
D. a 'dual' rectifier bridge is used to filter the transformer output - ANSWER-C. a
capacitor or capacitor bank is added to the output circuit

One of the simplest ways of controlling the output of a welding transformer is to change
the efficiency of coupling between the primary and secondary coils. How can this be
done?
A slide a piece of wood between the primary and the secondary coils
B. design the transformer with either a moving core or moving primary coils
C. design the transformer with a number of taps to select different output curves
D. use the timed firing of SCR's to control total conduction time - ANSWER-B. design
the transformer with either a moving core or moving primary coils
