What are losses in SCR?

All diodes and transistors are characterized by power losses due to switching and conduction. Switching losses occur during the interval between the on- and off-states of a junction, when there is both a voltage across the device terminals and a current flowing through it. Conduction losses are due to the device’s internal resistance that, no matter how low it is, will result in a power loss when a current is flowing. Even in the off-state, losses due to transistor leakage currents can be significant in devices such as microprocessors.
