What happen due to high di / dt____________?
Correct answer: B. Local hot spot
- A. Breakdown of junction
- B. Local hot spot
- C. Insulation failure
- D. None of these
Explanation
Excessive di/dt causes current to spread unevenly through the SCR, producing current crowding and localized hot spots. These hot spots can damage the junction even when the average current appears safe.
