why to use freewheeling diode ( diode in revers bias mode) across dc coil..

Answer / aditya shirbavikar

Free wheeling diode (Fwd) is used in a d.c circuit, generally in a.c drives in which two stages are used to convert FFFV to VVVF. first rectification and then inversion. so, free wheeling diose is placed between rectifier bridge and invertor bridge so to prevent the reverse a.c pulses from blowing up the rectifier bridge circuit.

Answer / aj

simple u cannt break
inductive ckt. And coil is
essentially inductive so fw
diode is to used to make use
of inductive current when
switch is off.

We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
