Power ElectronicsSCR Characteristics

The forward breakover voltage of an SCR is the anode-to-cathode voltage at which it turns ON without?

  • AA gate signal
  • BAn anode supply
  • CA cathode connection
  • DForward bias
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. A gate signal
Explanation: If forward voltage reaches the breakover level, an SCR can switch into conduction even without a gate trigger.
