Concept Preview• An NPN-PNP latch can be either on or off.• Once gated on, the latch cannot be gated off.• Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are latches.• An SCR is turned on by applying a pulse to its
gate terminal.• With a dc source, the SCR stays on after it is
gated.• With an ac source, the SCR turns off at the zero
crossing.• Load power is controlled by gating the SCR
earlier or later during the ac cycle.

Concept Preview• An SCR, in conjunction with a bridge rectifier,
can provide full-wave control.• Two SCRs can provide full-wave control without
a bridge rectifier.• A triac is equivalent to two SCRs.• Solid state relays combine triacs and optoisolators
in a single package.• SCRs and triacs are both members of the thyristor
family.• A diac breaks down in both directions and is ideal
for gating triacs.

Concept Preview• Servos use negative feedback to provide accurate
velocity or positioning.• A velocity servo compares tachometer voltage
with a set voltage.• A position serve compares potentiometer voltage
with a set voltage.• Servo response can be critically damped (most
desired), overdamped, or underdamped.• Servos are tuned for the best response by adjusting
gain and phase.

The green revolution involves lots of ideas and many new technologies and one very important part of the movement is efficiency. For example, to realize the best recovery of electrical energy from a photovoltaic panel a MPPT controller is needed.
Changes in illumination cause changes in the maximum power point. The controller optimizes the load on the panel under varying conditions.

Troubleshooting
• SCRs can fail by opening or shorting.
• A shorted SCR means full load power.
• An open SCR means no load power.
• A defective gate circuit can produce either full power or no power.
• TRIAC troubleshooting is much the same.

Servo Troubleshooting
• Mechanical problems can be confused with electrical faults.
• Slippage and excessive mechanical play can cause various symptoms and should be eliminated before tuning or troubleshooting.
• The underdamped response is often caused by excessive gain.
• The overdamped response is often caused by insufficient gain.
