Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
Gate circuit or triggering circuit of a thyristor is generally:
- Magnetic circuit
- Lower power circuit
- High power circuit
- Either 2 or 3
Correct answer: 2. Lower power circuit
Explanation: The triggering circuit for a thyristor can indeed operate at lower power levels. Typically, it involves electronic components such as diodes, resistors, capacitors, and sometimes small signal transistors. These components generate the necessary trigger pulse to turn on the thyristor.
