Consider a single phase fully controlled half wave rectifier supplying a resistive inductive load. If a free-wheeling diode (cathode of the diode shorted with the cathode of the thyristor) is connected across the load. Then, which of the following statements is true?
1
Average load voltage decreases
2
RMS load voltage increases
3
Conduction angle of load current decreases
4
Load current ripple factor reduces
