A(n) ____ commutating diode is connected in parallel with an armature to help reduce electrical noise produced in the armature.
A)reversed
B)biased
C)reverse-biased
D)inverse

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reverse-biased commutating diode is connected in parallel with an armature to help reduce electrical noise produced in the armature. This diode conducts when the polarity across the armature reverses during commutation, allowing the inductive energy to be absorbed by the diode and preventing it from being coupled back into the power supply.
