Is this a strange sort of rectifier?

FriedMule:
Unfortunately this all I found and I did do a lot of search to get some idea of it all, before asking here:-)

Magnetism, Is that not something you should avoid?

EDIT: Just found an other schematic where it says that R2 and L4 will convert the sinus curve to a square signal, if L4 is a lot larger then R2.
Go down to: "With inductive (RL) Load" on this page: https://www.daenotes.com/electronics/devices-circuits/full-wave-bridge-rectifier
Zero999:
If R2 is the load, then the inductor would be acting as a filter, to reduce the current ripple, but such an arrangement would be unusual. Normally the inductor would come before the main filter capacitor.
High_vacuum_house:
Difficult to know what is going on here without some component values and expected voltages. If it was a power supply which is what I think the inductor would normally link between the bridge rectifier and the smoothing capacitors as an LC filter.

The other option with the inductor is could it be the coil of a relay with the contacts not shown to indicate to something that the power supply is energised. R2 limiting the current being drawn in the relay coil?

I looked only at the chapter "With inductive RL Load". All wrong.

Stay away from that site.
FriedMule:
Thanks to your all! :-)
It looks like I again have found something fishy or at least an explanation that comes straight out of a "expert" site:-)
