A single phase semiconverter has a freewheeling diode. If the firing angle is a and the load is purely resistive, the periods of conduction and freewheeling respectively are
Options
A. p - a and 0
B. p - a and a
C. p + a and 0
D. p + a and a
Correct Answer
p - a and 0
Explanation
Freewheeling diode conducts only when load is inductive. If load is purely resistive free wheeling diode does not come into operation.
