The normal way to turn on a SCR is by______________?
Correct answer: C. Appropriate gate current
- A. Breakover voltage
- B. Appropriate anode current
- C. Appropriate gate current
- D. None of the above
Explanation
An SCR is normally triggered by applying an appropriate positive gate current with respect to the cathode. Breakover triggering is possible but is not the normal controlled method.
