4... Sngle-quadrant swtches Acte swtch: Swtch state s ctrolled exclusely by a thrd termnal (ctrol termnal). Passe swtch: Swtch state s ctrolled by the appled current and/or oltage at termnals and 2. SCR: A specal case turn- transt s acte, whle turn- transt s passe. Sngle-quadrant swtch: -state (t) and -state (t) are unpolar. 6
