26.

Current derating may be necessary when thyristors are operating in

A.	series
B.	parallel
C.	series or parallel
D.	none of the above

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Since current does not divide equally, current derating is necessary.

27.

Assertion (A): Power transistor has lower switching time than SCR

Reason (R): Power transistor has greater switching time than SCR

A.	Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
B.	Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
C.	A is correct but R is wrong
D.	A is wrong but R is correct

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Power transistor does not have high rating.
