In an SCR circuit the supply voltage is generally ___________ that of breakover voltage?
Correct answer: B. Less than
- A. Equal to
- B. Less than
- C. Greater than
- D. None of the above
Explanation
The supply is normally kept below the SCR's breakover voltage so it does not turn on unintentionally. A suitable gate pulse then triggers conduction at the desired time.
