The conduction angle in an SCR is the phase angle relative to the power line at which point the gate is fired to commit the anode to conduct to the cathode. By varying the conduction angle, you can change the average power transferred by the SCR.

As one of the railroad's best conductors, my grandfather was in charge of conduction.

You change the conduction angle in an SCR by delaying or advancing the point in time that you fire the gate.
What does "the following"mean ?
The calculations for changing the firing angle in SCR is K = 1 [π − α + 1 sin(2α )]
the voltage at which the current conduction occur
By controlling the amount of gate current !!
The SCR turns on based on gate voltage. The firing angle will depend on the point in the AC cycle where the gate voltage is where you want it, so the firing angle is a function of circuit design, not of the SCR.
A sinusoidal AC waveform is divided up into 360 degrees, with the positive half and the negative half of the waveform combined into a kind of circle. The firing angle simply refers to the point on the waveform, as measured in degrees (thus 'angle') which the thyristor is triggered into conduction. Answer2: Firing angle is the phase angle of the voltage at which the scr turns on. There are two ways of turning an scr on..one is by applying a gate current or by applying a voltage across the scr until it becomes greater than the breakover voltage.... Answer3: Thyristor need gate current and voltage to make it conduct. The firing angle is the sinusoidal increasing voltage. As it rises a voltage is reached with enough power to fire to trigger the gate. That voltage is the angle considering that a sinusoidal is 360 degrees per cycle.
Connect the SCR in series with the armature or field and control the firing angle of the SCR which in turns determine the current flowing to the armature or field.
It means the minimum current can trigger the SCR to operate.
silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is controlled by its gate voltage. If you raise the gate voltage above the cathode, by whatever threshold is required, then the SCR will turn on, and conduct from anode to cathode. That conduction will persist, regardless of further influence by the gate, until the anode to cathode voltage drops low enough to turn the SCR back off.Generally, this allows you to vary the turn-on point to a particular phase angle in the AC cycle, with the turn-off point being the next zero-crossing of the AC. This allows you to effectively vary the power to a load.This is in one direction only, so a single SCR in an AC circuit can only turn on for a maximum of one half cycle, unless some other means, such as a diode bridge, is used. If you are looking for AC power control, a better choice is the TRIAC, which allows bidirectional operation.
A SCR is a Silcon Controlled Recifier. It is a four layer device that can be conceptually considered to be two transistors in latch up configuration. (Though not exactly) For an SCR, there will be no conduction between anode and cathode until the gate / cathode junction is biased on. At that point, the SCR will latch up and conduct from anode to cathode, regardless of further changes on the gate. This condition will persist until the anode / cathode voltage drops to zero. The SCR can be used as a half wave dimmer in an AC circuit. If you want full wave operation, you need to use a bridge rectifier around the SCR, or use a TRIAC/DIAC circuit.
