dv/dt triggering

This is a turning ON method but it may lead to destruction of SCR and so it must be avoided.
When SCR is forward biased, junction 𝐽1 and 𝐽3 are forward biased and junction 𝐽2 is reversed biased so it behaves as if an insulator is place between two conducting plate. Here 𝐽1 and 𝐽3 acts as a conducting plate and 𝐽2 acts as an insulator. 𝐽2 is known as junction capacitor. So if we increase the rate of change of forward voltage instead of increasing the magnitude of voltage. Junction 𝐽2 breaks and starts conducting. A high value of changing current may damage the SCR. So SCR may be protected from high 𝑑𝑣/𝑑𝑡.
𝑞 = 𝑐𝑣
𝐼𝑎 = 𝑐𝑑𝑣/𝑑𝑡
𝐼𝑎 𝛼𝑑𝑣/𝑑t
