Right Answer is:
Latching current
SOLUTION
Latching Current (IL)
The latching current is the minimum value of anode current to trigger or turn ON the thyristor from its OFF state to ON state even after the trigger pulse is removed. To trigger an SCR, the anode current must be build-up to the latching current before the gate pulse is removed.
