Gate circuit or triggering circuit of a thyristor is

Correct answer: A. lower power circuit.

  • A. lower power circuit.
  • B. high power circuit.
  • C. magnetic circuit.
  • D. may be low power or high power circuit

Explanation

The gate only initiates conduction and requires a small triggering pulse compared with the main anode-cathode power circuit. Hence the gate or triggering circuit is a low-power circuit.
