Between the incoming and outgoing devices in voltage commutation

Correct answer: C. No overlapping operation

  • A. Large overlapping takes place
  • B. Small overlapping operation
  • C. No overlapping operation
  • D. None of these

Explanation

In voltage commutation, the commutation capacitor applies reverse voltage to turn off the outgoing thyristor before the incoming device conducts. Ideally this gives no overlap between incoming and outgoing devices.
