If all the SCRs of a three-phase PAC are replaced by diodes, when would they be triggered?

Correct answer C. 60 degrees after the zero crossing of the corresponding line voltages

Explanation

Diodes conduct at the natural commutation point, which occurs 60° after the zero crossing of the corresponding line voltage; this point defines zero firing angle for the thyristor converter.
