Practical way of obtaining static voltage equalization in series connected SCRs is by the use of____________?
Correct answer: B. Resistors of the same value across each SCR
- A. One resistor across the string
- B. Resistors of the same value across each SCR
- C. Resistors of different values across each SCR
- D. One resistor in series with each SCR
Explanation
Equal-value resistors connected across each series SCR share the steady-state voltage nearly equally, compensating for leakage-current differences. A single resistor cannot reliably equalize the voltage across individual devices.
