The advantage of using free - wheeling diode in half controlled bridge converter is that
Correct answer: A. There is always a path for the dc current independent of the ac line
- A. There is always a path for the dc current independent of the ac line
- B. There is always a path for the ac current independent of the ac line
- C. There is always a path for the dc current dependent of the ac line
- D. There is always a path for the ac current independent of the ac line
Explanation
A free-wheeling diode provides a closed path for the load's stored inductive current when the AC source voltage reverses or is disconnected. Thus, the DC load current path is independent of the AC line.
