The latching current of an SCR is 12 mA. Its holding current will be

Right Answer is:

4 mA

SOLUTION

The typical ratio of latching current to holding current lies in the range of 2.5 to 3. Here for calculation, we are taking the value of latching current 3

Latching current/Holding current = 3

Given

Latching current = 12

12/Holding current = 3

Holding current = 4
