How to Use the SCR Characteristics Apparatus

1. Confirm the SCR rating, voltage range, current range, and gate-control limits before use.
2. Place the apparatus on a dry, stable electronics-lab bench.
3. Connect the circuit according to the approved SCR experiment diagram.
4. Set the anode supply and gate control to their lowest safe starting values.
5. Increase the gate signal gradually and record anode voltage, anode current, and gate current.
