Leakage current flows through the thyristor in

by

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

Leakage current flows through the thyristor in:

  1. Reverse blocking mode
  2. Forward blocking mode
  3. Forward conduction mode
  4. Both forward and reverse blocking mode

Correct answer: 4. Both forward and reverse blocking mode

Explanation: In case of a thyristor, during forward blocking mode. in junction J2 while in reverse blocking mode junction J1 and J3 act as a capacitor. In both cases leakage current is present, and hence option 4 is correct answer to this MCQ.
