Compared to transistor, _________ have lower on state conduction losses and higher power handling capability?
Correct answer: D. Thyristor
- A. TRIACs
- B. Semi conductor diodes
- C. MOSFETs
- D. Thyristor
Explanation
Thyristors have a low forward voltage drop in the on-state and can withstand much larger currents and voltages than ordinary transistors. MOSFETs switch faster, but their conduction loss increases with channel resistance, especially at high power.
