    This document discusses the effect of source inductance on commutation operation in a half-wave rectifier circuit with a freewheeling diode. It notes that practical circuits have an inductive source impedance which causes a fundamental change in behavior compared to an ideal circuit. The document contains figures and equations showing how the source inductance affects the current flow through the diodes and load during switching transitions.

    Commutation Operation
    (The Effect of Source Inductance)
    • In practical circuits, the source has an equivalent impedance which
    is predominantly inductive reactance.
    • However, the source inductance causes a fundamental change in
    circuit behavior for circuits like the half-wave rectifier with a
    freewheeling diode.
