Q1:

The SCR would be turned OFF by voltage reversal of applied anode-cathode ac supply of frequency of

A 30 kHz

B 15 kHz

C 5 kHz

D 20 kHz

ANS:C - 5 kHz

For inverter grade SCR, typical turn off time (toff) is 5 to 50 μsec while 50 to 100 μsec for converter grade SCR. Hence supply frequency of 5 kHz will turn off the SCR by voltage reversal
because = 200 μsec.
