During which time maximum conduction spreading take place in the thyristor during turn ON?

Correct answer: B. Spread time

  • A. Delay time
  • B. Spread time
  • C. Rise time
  • D. Same for every case

Explanation

Conduction spreading occurs during the spread time, when the conducting region expands through the thyristor junction area. Delay time precedes significant anode-current rise, while rise time describes the main current increase.
