BCT is used for____________?
Correct answer: A. High power phase control
- A. High power phase control
- B. High power current control
- C. Low power current control
- D. Low power phase control
Explanation
A bidirectional controlled thyristor is intended for high-power AC control, especially phase-control applications such as AC voltage controllers. It is not normally classified as a low-power device.
