The rate of rise of re-striking voltage (RRRV) is dependent upon,

  • A. Resistance of the system only
  • B. Inductance of the system only
  • C. capacitance of the system only
  • D. Inductance and capacitance of the system

Answer: D. Inductance and capacitance of the system

Explanation: The Rate of Rise of Restriking Voltage (RRRV) depends on natural oscillation frequency ωn = 1/√(LC) and peak restriking voltage, so it is governed by both system inductance (L) and capacitance (C): RRRV_max = Vm/√(LC).
