obtain the values of Latching and Holding currents.

Two SCRs are connected across the centertapped secondary, as shown in the above figure.
The gate signal for both SCRs are supplied from
two circuits which control the gate supply.
One SCR conducts in the positive half cycle and
the other SCR conducts in the negative half cycle.
Thus current through the load will be
unidirectional.
The most important aspect of SCR's controlled
rectification is that the rectification process and
hence the output DC voltage can be controlled
using the Gate supply control circuits.
