The figure below shows the circuit diagram of a controlled rectifier supplied from a $$230V,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ $$1$$-phase voltage source and a $$10:1$$ ideal transformer. Assume that all devices are ideal. The firing angles of the thyristors $${T_1}$$ and $${T_2}$$ are $${90^ \circ }$$ and $${270^ \circ },$$ respectively.

A single phase full $$-$$ wave half $$-$$ controlled bridge converter feeds an inductive load. The two $$SCR's$$ in the converter are connected to a common $$DC$$ bus. The converter has to have a free wheeling diode
A
because the converter inherently does not provide for free - wheeling
B
because the converter does not provide for free - wheeling for high values of triggering angles
C
or else the free - wheeling action of the converter will cause shorting of the $$AC$$ triggering angles
D
or else if a gate pulse to one of the $$SCR$$s is missed, it will subsequently cause a high load current in the other $$SCR$$.
