For bidirectional operation of converters____________?

Correct answer: A. A parallel combination of controllable switch and a diode is used

  • A. A parallel combination of controllable switch and a diode is used
  • B. A parallel combination of controllable switch and capacitor is used
  • C. A series combination of controllable switch and a diode is used
  • D. A series combination of controllable switch and a capacitor is used

Explanation

Bidirectional current flow is obtained by placing a controllable switch and a diode in parallel with opposite current directions. The switch conducts one way while the antiparallel diode provides the reverse-current path.
