In Thyristor as long as no gate current flows to the cathode via the gate terminal – Power Electronics MCQ#40

by

As long as no gate current flows to the cathode via the gate terminal:

  1. A thyristor will allow if it has positive anode voltage
  2. A thyristor will block it has positive anode voltage
  3. Any of these
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 2. A thyristor will block it has positive anode voltage

Explanation: A thyristor will block even it has positive anode voltage as long as no gate current flows to the cathode via the gate terminal.
