If the firing angle becomes negative, then the rectifier begins to work as_______________?
Correct answer: B. An inverter
- A. A rectifier
- B. An inverter
- C. A chopper
- D. A regulator
Explanation
With a negative firing angle, power flows from the DC side back toward the AC supply, so the controlled converter operates in inversion rather than rectification.
