Question

“With SCR control, every electric light switch in the home becomes a potential light
dimmer that provides continously variable operation from full-off to full-on. In
living and dining rooms, light dimmers can provide just the right degree of
illumination to fit any mood and, for amateur puppeteers, the basement rumpus room
can be converted into a theater, complete with stage light dimming equipment.”
From the above-mentioned statement, you are required to give suggestions and
answer comprehensively to the problems as follows,
(i) Suggest one home appliance as a load that can be controlled using SCR
devices and list down electrical specifications that are suitable for the
suggested load, control circuit, and grid requirement. 

(ii) Suggest an appropriate converter circuit for controlling the suggested load
using SCR devices. The suggested circuit must be clearly and appropriately
sketched and labeled. 

(iii) Explain the opearation of the suggested converter circuit to fulfill the
suggested load and grid requirements. The diagrams, circuits, or equations
might be required to support your explanation.
