Do all electronic switches respond instantly? Think again. A common misconception among beginners is that an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) switches on and off immediately. But in reality, timing is everything. In this article on the Tech4Ultra Electrical website, we’ll break down the SCR turn-on time, SCR turn-off time, and the overall Switching characteristics of
