Half wave controlled rectifier with RL
• Effect of Freewheeling diode
1. This diode is also known as commutating
diode, flywheel diode or bypass diode
2. It prevents reversal of load voltage
3. It transfers the load current away from the
main rectifier, thereby allowing all the
thyristors to regain their blocking states.
