Thyristors and Tranducers - Technical MCQs

Q1:

The smallest amount of current that the cathode-anode can have, and still sustain conduction of an SCR is called the:

A maximum forward current

B maximum forward gate current

C holding current

D reverse gate leakage current

ANS:D - reverse gate leakage current

Holding current is from Anode to Cathode when Gate is triggered. But this case its the Cathode to Anode current, so answer might be Reverse Gate Leakage Current.
