Controlled Rectifier Circuit. The three phase bridge rectifier circuit has three legs each phase connected to one of the three phase voltages. Silicon controlled rectifier is also sometimes referred to as scr diode 4 layer diode 4 layer device or thyristor.
A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier is a four layer solid state current controlling device. A silicon controlled rectifier or scr is essentially a shockley diode with an extra terminal added. A three phase controlled rectifier circuit built with scrs without pulse transformers or triggering circuitry shown would look like the figure below.

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current ac which periodically reverses direction to direct current dc which flows in only one direction. They are used in a number of circuits usually ac dc power control.
