What is the function of freewheeling diodes in controlled rectifier?..

Answer / Shekh Mohmd Zaved

Freewheeling diodes are used in controlled rectifiers to prevent voltage spikes and current surges when the switching device turns off. When the switch turns off, the inductor's stored energy causes the current to continue flowing through the freewheeling diode, which conducts in the opposite direction of the main switch. This ensures a smooth transition and protects the circuit from damage.
