Answer / muthu

in order to avoid the negative peak in the output voltage

Answer / zakeer

Inductor is a magnatic field storage device after
disconnecting from the ckt it acts as a source up to it
discharge like capacitor.
at the time of chainging of signe in a transformar it
have -ve voltage more than supply voltage so the scr or
diode is conduction state up to the inductor is discharged
at this time we got -ve peak for discharging rapedly we
connect the free wheeling diode across the inductor.

Answer / s.narayanaswamy

WHEN A INDUCTIVE LOAD IS OPENED IT CREATES VERY HIGH BACK
WHICH AT TIME CAUSE THE FAILURE OF COMPONENTS.BY PROVIDING
FREE WHEELING DIODE BACK EMF WILL NOT BE MUCH AS THE
CURRENT CIRCUITWILL COMPLETE THRU INDUCTOR &DIODE &THE
VOLTAGE WILL NOT BE THERE IN OTHER CIRCUITS

Answer / karthick.v

flyback diode (sometimes called a snubber diode,
freewheeling diode, suppressor diode, or catch diode[1]) is
a diode used to eliminate flyback, the sudden voltage spike
seen across an inductive load when its supply voltage is
suddenly reduced or removed.

Answer / ravindra

1.load current is continuous
2.avoid from nagative voltages at the output
3.improvement of powerfactor
4.not required any firing angle to conduct

Answer / tushar gawas

TO SUPRESS THE BACK E.M.F PRODUCED DURING SUITCHING THE
INDUCTIVE LOAD.

Answer / dilawar aptel

to avoid the current flow in reverse direction

Answer / tamil

To avoid the negative current flow

Answer / aditya vardhani

free wheeling diode acts when in the reverse biased state
of thyristor to maintain continous load cuurent & increase
the performence of the device

Answer / venkat parthasarathy

AS the supply cuts off the current will not become
zero,because there will be some energy stored in inductor.It
will create a reverse current.If the contacts seperate the
back emf will damage the cicuit components. Hence the free
wheeling diode is connected to provide a closed path for the
current until it vanishes.....

I am having a DG set.The 415 V from Generator is step up to 460 v and then the same is used for Induction furnace. before Step up, I am connecting LT load to my factory use. When Induction furnace is in service from DG, when i try to start a motor, the generator is tripped.Please tell me the reason.

Lux meter is the measuring device to measure the lux level of lighting fixture. in industrial sector two types of lighting fixture is being used as street lighting purpose 1. HPSV (Sodium) and 2. HPMV (Mercury). HPMV having white light which is an combination of red, blue and yellow colour, while HPSV haivng Yellow lighting. in HPSV red & blue colour will be absent. during measurement of the lux level of HPSV and HPMV fixture. 1. Lux meter can measure the actual lux level of both fixture? 2. or it will show false reading for HPSV fixture light as it has only yellow light present. please give me answer
