Reviews
In the case of single-phase bridge semi controlled rectifier circuit with freewheeling diode, it is usually in the case of large wave suppression inductor or motor and other inductive load. The function of freewheeling diode is to avoid out of control. The biggest advantage of full bridge half control is that there is only one thyristor module in each bridge arm, and the other rectifier is diode. Therefore, the thyristor module is commutating when there is a trigger signal, while the diode is commutating when the working voltage is zero.

Highlights
Under abnormal conditions, if the trigger signal suddenly disappears or the control angle of the trigger signal reaches 180 degrees, the thyristor module that has been turned on will not be able to automatically disconnect, and VD3 and VD4 will turn on in turn, becoming uncontrollable rectifier circuit. The output line still has working voltage output, but the output working voltage of the line at this time is single-phase half wave rectifier working voltage. In order to avoid this kind of situation and ensure that the thyristor module can be disconnected in each cycle, freewheeling diodes need to be added.

Schematic diagram of half controlled rectifier resistor load with freewheeling diode

Basic working principle

When the positive half cycle of U2, when wt = α, the thyristor module VT1 is triggered to turn on, and the current is transmitted from the positive end of U2 - vt1-r-vd4-u2 load to the load.

When U2 is zero crossing and becomes negative, the load current passes through the freewheeling diode, so that the DC output of the bridge circuit has only a voltage drop of 1V, which reduces the current in the thyristor module diode series connection line to below the maintenance current, so that the thyristor module can be disconnected, and there can be no out of control.

When the negative cycle of U2 is wt = π + α, VT3 will be triggered to turn on. Then VT1 will receive back voltage and be disconnected, and U2 will send power to the load through vt3-r-vd2-u2.

When U2 zero crossing timing, the load current passes through the freewheeling diode, so that the DC output of the bridge circuit has only a voltage drop of 1V, which reduces the current in the thyristor module diode series circuit to below the maintenance current, so that the thyristor module is disconnected, and the above process is repeated.
