Copper oxide rectifier is usually designed not to operate above___________?
Correct answer: D. 45°C
- A. 10°C
- B. 20°C
- C. 30°C
- D. 45°C
Explanation
Copper oxide rectifiers are strongly temperature-sensitive and are generally designed for operation up to about 45°C. Higher temperatures can significantly alter their rectifying characteristics.
