Battery Charging Technique Using SCR

The Battery Charging Technique Using SCR Trainer is designed for practical study of battery charging using SCR-based control techniques. It provides a suitable platform for understanding controlled charging, SCR operation, current regulation, and battery charging circuits. The trainer includes an isolated AC power supply, digital current measurement, SCR circuitry, a 12 V battery load, variable resistance, and associated electronic components for practical experimentation. The unit is housed in a metal cabinet with a clearly printed insulated circuit board. Designed and manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical demands of modern laboratories.
