The process of commutating a SCR by applying a reverse voltage to an SCR through a previously charged capacitor is called as

Answer

Resonant Commutation

Explanation

Solution

When a capacitor which has been precharged is connected to a conducting SCR, it applies a reverse voltage across the SCR. This forced reverse voltage commutates (turns off) the SCR. This technique is known as Resonant Commutation.
