Which mechanism causes decreased rectifier performance when a photovoltaic array's bypass capacitor degrades?

A)Increased reverse recovery current
B)Reduced active power factor
C)Elevated gate drive impedance
D)Diminished zero crossing distortion

💡 Explanation

Increased reverse recovery current results because charge carriers are not swept away efficently due to diminished capacitance during switching via charge injection mechanism. Rectifier performance decreases, therefore increased reverse recovery rather than altered zero crossing due parasitic parameters.
