Assertion (A): A single-phase half-wave rectifier circuit is popularly known as one-pulse rectifier.
Reason (R) : A single-phase half-wave rectifier circuit is used to convert ac power to dc.
Assertion (A) : In 3-phase converters, the ripple frequency of the converter output voltage is higher than in single phase converter.
Reason (R) : The load current is mostly discontinuous in 3-phase converters.
Assertion (A) : In a half-wave rectifier with R-L load and with freewheeling diode, the input Volt- Ampere demand is less.
Reason (R) : With freewheeling diode, the stored energy is in the load itself.
