A $$1:1$$ pulse transformer $$(PT)$$ is used to trigger the $$SCR$$ in the adjacent figure. The $$SCR$$ is rated at $$1.5$$ $$kV$$, $$250$$ $$A$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,\,\,{{\rm I}_H} = 150\,mA,$$ and $${{\rm I}_{G\max }} = 150mA$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,$$ $${{\rm I}_{G\min }} = 100mA.$$ The $$SCR$$ is connected to an inductive load, where $$L$$ $$=150$$ $$mH$$ in series with a small resistance and the supply voltage is $$200$$ $$V$$ $$dc.$$ The forward drops of all transistors/diodes and gate $$-$$ cathode junction during $$ON$$ state are $$1.0V$$

The minimum approximate volt $$-$$second rating of the pulse transformer suitable for triggering the $$SCR$$ should be: (Volt - second rating is the maximum of product of the voltage and the width of the pulse that may be applied)

A
$$2000\,\mu \,\,V - s$$
B
$$200\,\mu \,\,V - s$$
C
$$20\,\mu \,\,V - s$$
D
$$2\,\mu \,\,V - s$$

''Six $$MOSFETS$$ connected in a bridge configuration (having no other power device) MUST be operated as Voltage Source Inverter $$(VSI)''.$$ This statement is
A
True, because being majority carrier devices. $$MOSFETS$$ are voltage driven
B
True, because $$MOSFETs$$ have inherently anti - parallel diodes
C
False, because it can be operated both as Current Source Inverter $$(CSI)$$ or a $$VSI$$
D
False, because $$MOSFETs$$ can be operated as execellent constant current sources in the saturation region
