Snubber circuit is used with SCR_________________?
Correct answer: B. in parallel
- A. in series
- B. in parallel
- C. either series or parallel
- D. anti parallel
Explanation
An SCR snubber is normally an RC network connected in parallel with the SCR. It limits the rate of rise of voltage across the device and prevents unwanted turn-on from excessive dV/dt.
