To meet high current demand we use SCRs in______________?
Correct answer: B. parallel connection.
- A. series connection.
- B. parallel connection.
- C. anti parallel connection.
- D. both B and C.
Explanation
Parallel SCRs share the load current, so their combined current rating meets a high-current demand. Series connection is used instead when a higher voltage rating is required.
