Full Wave Rectifier Circuit Lab Manual

This document describes an experiment on a full wave rectifier circuit. The objective is to study the behavior of the circuit when a periodic signal is applied at the input. A full wave rectifier uses four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full rectification in both half cycles of the input signal. The lab activities involve connecting the circuit, measuring output voltages, and observing the output on an oscilloscope both with just a resistor and with a resistor and capacitor. Safety precautions are emphasized when working with the 220V mains power.

Lab07: Full Wave Rectifier Circuit
Objective:

The objective of this experiment is to study the behavior of the full wave rectifier circuit
when a periodic signal is applied at its input.

Full-Wave Rectifier:

A full-wave rectifier, or a bridge rectifier, makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement
to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely used configuration, both with individual
diodes wired and with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired internally
(See Fig.1).

Fig. 1: A and B are one-package bridge rectifiers whereas C is a four-diode full wave rectifier

Activity # 1:

HERE BECAREFULL NOT TO GET SHOCKED BY THE 220 V MAINS. DO NOT TOUCH THE BODY
OF THE TRANSFORMER AND ALL WIRES MUST BE INSULATED. DO NOT SWITCH ON THE
POWER BEFORE SHOWING THE CIRCUIT TO THE LAB ENGINEER.

Connect the transformer to the 220 V mains and show the output V1 on the oscilloscope.

(1a) Peak voltage of V1 = _____________

(1b) Take a GOOD image of the output V1.
