Which of the following is used in SCR to protect from high dV / dt__________________?
Correct answer: A. Snubber circuit
- A. Snubber circuit
- B. Fuse
- C. Equalizing circuit
- D. Circuit breaker
Explanation
An RC snubber connected across an SCR absorbs rapid voltage changes and limits dV/dt. Fuses and circuit breakers protect mainly against excessive current, not rapid voltage rise.
