In practice, how is static voltage sharing achieved between SCRs connected in series?

Correct answer B. Resistors of the same value across each SCR

Explanation

Series SCRs have different leakage currents, so off-state voltage would divide unequally. Placing equal resistors across each SCR swamps these differences and forces roughly equal voltage sharing.
