Define holding and latching current

Ans:  

  • Latching current: It is the minimum anode current required to maintain the SCR in the conduction state, even when the gate signal has been removed. 
  • Holding current: It is the minimum anode current required to hold the SCR in the ON state. When the anode current goes below the holding current, the device will go to OFF state.
