Reducing the supply voltage,interruption,and forced commutation are all methods of accomplishing what?
A) turning on an SCR
B) turning off an SCR
C) turning on a Schockley diode
D) turning on a triac

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reducing the supply voltage and interruption are both methods of turning off an SCR. Forced commutation is also a method of turning off an SCR, but it is typically used in higher power applications where natural commutation is not possible. Turning on an SCR or a triac typically involves applying a positive voltage to the gate terminal. Turning on a Shockley diode involves applying a voltage greater than the breakover voltage across the device.
