Silicone Control Rectifier (SCR)

This is my husbands dream- 1/3/09

I was at an industrial facility (like a pump station that I use to work at with the city) then it seemed myself and a coworker were at the hospital-not sure. Something happened with the SCR-Silicone control rectifier. The SCR blew out. We were talking about what happened. I thought it was the big SCR in the main generator and my coworker said, no it was the small SCR that blew. We may have been in the hospital due to the SCR blowing up...not sure.

IRL this is what an SCR is in a nutshell:

1. SCR: Silicon Controlled Rectifier. A semiconductor device that functions as an electrically controlled switch. (a) An SCR is one in the family of semiconductors that includes transistors and diodes. (b) The basic purpose of a SCR is to function as a switch that can turn on or off small or large amounts of power. It performs this function without mechanical parts.

2. Where in the circuit are you providing transient voltage surge suppression? (a) You would most likely use a "Thyristor" in a generator field circuit, or "Chokes" in voltage regulators and power supplies.

3. SCR's are normally found in electrical/electronic equipment and are on the secondary side of your equipment supply transformer, effectively isolated from your service electrical system. Result, no "noise" to spike your lamps.

Any insights?

I have a question! Did the rectifer blow out due to heat transfer?
I had a dream yesterday about a rectifier heat transfer grease on my hands.
Its a white grease used to transfer the heat between to metal objects. I used to use it exclusively for rectifer heat transfer. I thought it strange when I read your dream being I havent been in the generator industiryy for 20 years. Nor have I even thought about it at all!
Thanks, Rob

What comes to mind is the tongue. Small things can control large things, the rudder of a ship, etc... Is it possible that the flow of God's love is being stopped by a small thing? Just a thought.

God bless

Liger,

He was talking to someone after it happened, it didn't have anything to do with heat transfer. I beleive that Travis may be hitting something, I will pray about it.

might have been a Holy Ghost transfer as is witnessing to whomever and releasing the fire of God from one child of God to another

Thanks everyone, it may be a little of all since we only see in part. Thank you.
