In a circuit using a full wave converter (M - 2 connection) the PIV of each thyristor is 400 V. For the same output voltage and fully controlled bridge converter, PIV will be
Options
A. 400 V
B. 800 V
C. 200 V
D. 2002 V
Correct Answer
200 V
Explanation
In bridge connection PIV is half of that in M-2 connection.
