Which is universal gate triggering method of SCR ?

Is it gate triggering ? If so why ?

HOW ELSE DOES ONE TRIGGER AN SCR INTO CONDUCTION EXCEPT THROUGH GATE?

There is no universal method. Transformer coupling, photocells, and direct drive have all been used successfully. It depends on the application.

APPLY DC 1.5V TO 3V AT THE GATE WILL TRIGGER IT FROM OFF INTO ON.
