two diodes are used. when one diodes swithes off, the other takes over and hence provides a continuious wave from. thier circuit arrangment is also called half bridge.

What are the effect of removing the freewheeling diode In single phase semi converter?

Removing the freewheeling diode in a single-phase semi-converter can lead to several adverse effects. Without the diode, the inductive load will not have a path for the current to continue flowing when the SCRs are turned off, potentially causing voltage spikes and damaging the circuit components. Additionally, the efficiency of the converter may decrease, leading to increased ripple in the output voltage and a less stable operation. Overall, the absence of the freewheeling diode compromises the converter's performance and reliability.

What is the freewheeling diode operation?

Very often in translations from German to English the term 'free wheeling diode' for 'Freilauf-Diode' is used. Generally the correct translation for this term would be 'recovery diode'. The usage of the term 'free wheeling' only will be correct in mechanical aspects, e.g. the rear wheel of a bicycle or the clutch of the transmission line of a car.

Why freewheeling diode is used?

1. Consider a simple half wave rectifier circuit consisting of an ac source a diode and a series R-L load.2. now during the positve half cycle of the source current, the diode conducts but it stops conducting when the negative half cycle starts.3. For an R-L load load current lags the source voltage and tries to flow in the previous direction even when the source voltage has reversed.4. This action due to the inductance, builds a high voltage across the diode which may exceed its forward breakdown limit and permanently damage it.5. Thus freewheeling diodes are used to short the load during negative half cycles and hence prevent the voltage breakdown of the semiconductor switches used in the control circuit.

Can diode be used as transister?

No. A diode can not be used as a transistor. A diode allows electricity to flow in one direction like a one way street. A transistor works the same way as putting a stop light in the one way street. It lets electricity flow at certain times and keeps electricity from flowing at certain times. Of course a diode only works when electricity is there to flow just like a one way street only works when there are cars there to ride through it.


What is the definition of freewheeling?

Freewheeling refers to a person riding a bicycle without peddling such as down a hill. The word has been popularized to include personality traits indicating that a person is carefree.
