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.
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.
no we not use resistance in place of diode.

what effect freewheeling diod
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.
The use of the pn diode is for rectification. It can also be used as a switch.
no we not use resistance in place of diode.
Backward diode
A freewheeling diode, also known as a flyback diode, is a semiconductor device used to protect circuits by providing a path for inductive kickback current when the current through an inductive load (like a relay or motor) is suddenly interrupted. This prevents voltage spikes that could damage other components in the circuit. The diode is connected in parallel with the inductive load, allowing the stored energy in the inductor to dissipate safely. It is commonly used in switching applications to enhance circuit reliability.
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.
Diode is a two terminal semicon. Diode is a Switching device
In a freewheeling engine, the piston tops and the valve bottoms do not share the same mechanical space, even if the timing belt or chain breaks.
