Thyristor Rectifier Inverter Operation With Inductive Load: Are These Statements Correct?

Hello, I am new here so forgive any noob-ness,

I am doing a study on Thyristor rectification and have a few questions:

A single-phase, half controlled bridge rectifier cannot be an inverter?

-Unless it is connected to an inductive load, then it can?

A single-phase, half controlled bridge rectifier connected to an inductive load acts like a current generator as the stored inductor current means the thyristors wont turn off when the voltage changes direction?

 

Those are the questions and the main question to all of them is "are those statments correct?"

Thanks

Hi,

You can this out to further understand thyristors.

In general, a half controlled bridge rectifier can only work as an inverter as long as the output voltage is positive.
