How can we protect SCR from thermal conditions _____________?

Correct answer: B. Using heat sink.

  • A. Use of snubber circuit.
  • B. Using heat sink.
  • C. Using CB and fuse.
  • D. Using equalizing circuit

Explanation

Thermal protection is obtained by conducting heat away from the SCR, and a heat sink provides the required low-resistance path to the surroundings. Snubbers address voltage transients, while fuses and circuit breakers mainly provide overcurrent protection.
